Results.
PWH had a higher incidence of ADCs, infection-related NADCs, and death. For NADCs like breast, prostate, and colon cancer, incidence was similar or higher among PWH below age 50 but higher among those without HIV by age 65. Incidence of lung and head and neck cancer was always higher for female beneficiaries with HIV, while the curves crossed for male beneficiaries. We saw only small differences in incidence trends by race/ethnicity.
Conclusion.
Our findings suggest an increased risk of certain NADCs at younger ages among PWH, even when compared against other Medicaid beneficiaries, and highlight the importance of monitoring PWH for ADCs and NADCs. Future work should explore possible mechanisms explaining the differences in incidence for specific cancer types.
