UK guidelines for HIV-related cancers (2014): published online

24 March 2014. Related: Guidelines, Cancer and HIV.

BHIVA guidelines for HIV-associated malignancies 2014 are now available online.

They aim to provide guidance on best clinical practice in the treatment and management of adults with HIV infection and malignancy. The scope includes the management of diagnosed malignancies in people living with HIV but does not address screening for malignancies in this population. This is covered elsewhere in other BHIVA guidance where evidence is available to support it.

The guidelines are aimed at clinical professionals directly involved with, and responsible for, the care of adults with HIV infection, and at community advocates responsible for promoting the best interests and care of HIV positive adults.

The guidelines should be read in conjunction with other published BHIVA guidelines.
