Although a major, new U.S. study has found that many types of cancer are more common among HIV-positive people, the overall risk of getting cancer
when you're HIV positive is low. The massive study of nearly 55,000 HIV-positive people discovered that 10 cancers that are not associated with advanced HIV
disease nonetheless happen more frequently among poz than HIV-negative people.

common among people with HIV, the study found.
