Lower CD4 counts linked with higher cancer risks in people living with HIV in South Africa

The study’s authors found links between a low CD4 count and increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) and HPV related cancers such as cervical cancer. The authors found no link between immune suppression and several non-infection linked cancers such as breast, lung and prostate.

Mis on Life4me+?
Üks Life4me+ peamiseid eesmärke on uute HIVi- ja muude sugulisel teel levivate nakkuste juhtumite, nagu ka C-hepatiiti ja tuberkuloosi nakatumise ennetamine. Seepärast räägime HIVist ja muudest haigustest — sellest, kuidas end nende eest kaitsta ja kuidas elada nakatununa.

Kampaania Life4me+
Info haridusliku kampaania "M = M" kohta ("Mittetuvastatav = mitteedasikanduv", #UequalsU, #НравноН), mis on Life4me+ poolt organiseeritud Ida-Euroopas ja Kesk-Aasias regioonis, suunatud info levitamisele, et HIV-positiivne inimene mittetuvastatava viiruskoormusega ei saa viirust seksuaalsel teel edasi kanda teisele inimesele.
Mitmed uuringud on näidanud, et diskordantses paaris, kus HIV-positiive partner võtab ARV ravimeid ja hoiab viiruskoormuse mittetuvastataval tasemel, ei ole teada juhtumitest, kus HIV oleks seksuaalsel teel edasi kandunud.
