Abstract

Background: Malignancies, in part, are responsible for high HIV-related morbidity and Mortality. While antiretroviral therapy (ART) substantially decreases the risk of developing AIDS-defining Cancers, HIV-infected individuals remain at high risk for non-AIDS-defining Cancers. Objectives: In Iran, the epidemiology of AIDS and non-AIDS-defining Cancers in the HIV-infected population has not been studied; therefore, this study investigated the Prevalence of Cancers among HIV-infected patients in Iran. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, using convenient sampling, hospital records of 1243 HIV-infected patients from 2004 to 2017 were collected at the Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran. The only inclusion criterion was a positive HIV result of ELISA and Western blot tests. The records were investigated for the occurrence of HIV-and non-HIV-defining Cancers. To examine the Association between relevant factors and Cancer, we used a multivariate logistic regression model to calculate the adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR). Results: Thirty-nine out of 1243 HIV-infected patients, including 16 males (41%)and23 females (59%), were diagnosed with concurrent Cancer (3. 1%). Twenty-five individuals had AIDS-defining Cancers (2%), and 14 had non-AIDS-defining Cancers (1. 1%). Cervical Cancer was detected in 14 patients (1. 1%), non-Hodgkin’ s lymphoma in 7 patients (0. 6%), and Kaposi’ s sarcoma in 4 patients (0. 3%). There was a significant Association between age group (30-40 years old) and the type of Cancer (P = 0. 048). Age group (adjusted odds ratio 3. 33 for age group 50 yrs, 95% CI: 0. 42-26. 60) and gender (adjusted odds ratio 0. 36 for men, 95% CI: 0. 18– 0. 70) remained independently associated with Cancer (P < 0. 05). Conclusions: The Prevalence of AIDS-defining Cancers was higher than non-AIDS-defining Cancers. These results highlighted the importance of promoting Cancer screening and early ART initiation among HIV-infected patients.
