AIDS-related cancers  

Definition(s)

  • AIDS-RELATED CANCERS ARE a group of cancers that are more prevalent in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) than in the general population. HIV is a retrovirus, a virus containing RNA and the enzyme reverse transcriptase, which enables the virus to makes its genetic material part of the DNA of the cell it invades.
