A remarkable story from a woman living with #HIV and stage IV colon #cancer. Be kind to yourself and seek out the people who support you. You are not alone. #CancerFreeHIV

"Having certain kinds of cancer may cause feelings that people will judge you—just as I was afraid people would think that contracting HIV was my fault...choose to be kind to yourself...find people who will support you. This will give you more strength to face your fears"
POZ Magazine@pozmagazine

#POZStories Find people who will support you. This will give you more strength to face your fears and any critics. #HIV poz.com/article/secret…

If you haven't already, check out our cancer clinical trial finder for PLWH. No discriminatory HIV-exclusion criteria here 😎. Having well-controlled HIV should not prevent clinical trial access! #CancerFreeHIV #HIVonc #HIV #Cancer #SpeakOutHIV #CancerResearch @ASCOPost @ASCO

So exciting to present this data! Bottom line: HIV-associated DLBCL outcomes continue to improve over time, and pts given time to complete chemotherapy have OS approaching HIV- pts. Listen to the talk to hear more! #ASH2022 @huntsmancancer

@ErmannMD presenting his study on patients with HIV and DLBCL. In this study we reported the survival disparities that continue to persist in HIV associated DLBCL, in a population of over 146,000 DLBCL patients!

Many ICI trials exclude PLWH b/c of a misconception that all PLWH have low CD4 counts, and will thus have poor outcomes. However, many PLWH on ART have normal CD4 counts. This study shows that people w/o HIV can also have low CD4 counts, and counts <350 do not impact survival/AEs

ICI refers to immune checkpoint inhibitors, a type of immunotherapy now approved to treat many types of #cancer found in #PLWH. Several studies have shown that ICI and other immunotherapies can be safely tolerated in PLWH.

"Among participants with advanced cancers entering ICI clinical trials...baseline CD4 counts do not differ by HIV status, low CD4 counts occur irrespective of HIV status, and CD4 counts <350 cells/µL do not appear to increase the risk of adverse events (AE) or impact survival"

Did you know #HIV treatment (#ART) can also prevent cancer in PLWH? Uncontrolled HIV > low CD4+ count > immunosuppression > cancer (Kaposi sarcoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, cervical cancer, etc) ART > controlled HIV > improved CD4+ counts > stronger immune system > less cancer.

function also becomes abnormal which can lead to B cell cancers. Finally, the HIV virus and other viruses that PLWH are more susceptible to activate the immune system over time and cause chronic inflammation. This can lead to further immune dysfunction resulting in (4/5)
