Abstract

As combined antiretroviral therapy has allowed patients infected with HIV to survive longer due to improved immunity, increasing incidences of non-AIDS associated malignancies as well as chronic comorbidities are reported. One of the more commonly reported non-AIDS associated cancers is Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) [1]. We report our experience of HL among HIV-infected and uninfected patients.
