Meta-analysis identifies increased cancer burden in people living with HIV, suggesting improved HPV vaccination could reduce disparities.

People living with HIV are at significantly increased risk for various HPV-related non-cervical cancers.
The pooled risk ratios for anal, vaginal, vulvar, penile, and oropharyngeal cancers were found to be substantially elevated.
Improving HPV vaccine coverage to 90% could prevent nearly 2,000 additional cancer cases, highlighting the vaccine's impact.
Integrating HPV vaccination with HIV services may help to address the disparity in the cancer burden, especially in high-prevalence areas.

Wongkalasin et al. (2025) studied this question.
