Description
Anna Tisler and five co-authors wrote this 2024 study on cancers linked to the HPV virus among people living with HIV in Estonia. Cancer is now the top cause of death in this group, yet whole-country data on their cancer rates is scarce. The team used health insurance and cancer registry records from 2004 to 2021.
The cohort held 7,011 people with HIV, about two thirds of them men. Cancers tied to HPV made up about a fifth of all cancers in the group. Rates of those cancers ran about 3.7 times the public rate in men and 5.7 times in women. Cervical cancer in women and penile cancer in men showed the sharpest rises. The authors call for stronger screening and vaccine efforts aimed at this group.
