Abstract

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection continues to be an important public health issue. Immunosuppression is responsible for the development of much comorbidity among HIV-infected patients. Of these, malignancies play an important role in the prognosis of the disease. Cancers diagnosed in HIV-infected patients can be divided into two main categories: AIDS-defining cancers and non-AIDS-defining cancers. In the second category, skin cancers represent an important subgroup, the most common being basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma.
