Abstract

People with HIV (PWH) have increased Kaposi sarcoma (KS) risk. Among 2,645 PWH with KS in the United States HIV/AIDS Cancer Match Study, subsequent cancer risk was elevated 2.8-fold (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.4-3.3) compared to PWH without KS. Mortality after KS declined 2000-2002 and 2012-2015 (hazard ratio = 0.64; 95%CI: 0.55-0.74).
