## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
Advances in anti-retroviral therapy have transformed HIV into a chronic disease. As death from HIV has
decreased for people living with HIV (PLWH), mortality from other chronic diseases of aging, particularly non-
AIDS defining cancers (NADC), has significantly increased. Winship Cancer Institute’s P30 cancer center
support grant and its Community Outreach and Engagement component have identified PLWH as a “Special
Population”, experiencing significant cancer disparities in our catchment area of Georgia. Multiple retrospective
database analyses have reported worse cancer outcomes, including survival, between PLWH vs HIV-
populations, but underlying reasons to explain significant differences in cancer care and survival outcomes more
fully remain to be elucidated. We propose two Specific Aims for this exploratory supplement: 1) generate a
population-based cohort of age- and stage-matched HIV+ and HIV- NHL patients derived from the Georgia
cancer registry; and 2) contact this cohort using established registry protocols and evaluate feasibility and
acceptability of validated tools and methods to investigate social determinants of health and multi-level factors
(patient, clinical, facility, provider, system) that might impact diagnosis, treatment and outcomes for both HIV+
and HIV- cancer cases through a mixed methods study design. These Aims are in alignment with the NIH OAR
research priorities related to HIV-Associated Comorbidities, Coinfections, and Complications that contributes to
increasing understanding of the causes, frequency, and clinical outcomes of HIV-related malignancies, as well
as research to reduce Health Disparities … in treatment outcomes of PLWH. Completion of these Aims will lead
to an extramural grant application to expand preliminary data to other NADC.
