Within an integrated health care system with an organized CRC screening program, we found no disparities in CRC screening uptake or outcomes among people with and without HIV, and CD4 count did not influence CRC risk among PWH. Encourage people to learn more about colorectal cancer screenings and to talk to their doctor about colorectal cancer with our MyHealthfinder resources. Lower CD4 count did not increase likelihood of adenoma or CRC. In adjusted analyses, we found no difference in prevalence of either adenoma or CRC by HIV status (adjusted prevalence ratio = 0.97, 95% confidence interval: 0.83 to 1.12). Large epidemiological studies 8, 9, which matched cancer registries and HIV/AIDS did not demonstrate an. Among those with sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy, adenoma was detected in 161 (19.6%) PWH and 1498 (22.6%) persons without HIV, and CRC was detected in 4 (0.5%) PWH and 69 (1.0%) persons without HIV. CRC is not considered an HIV/AIDS defined malignancy. Among PWH, we evaluated whether CD4 count (<200/200-499/≥500 cells/µL) was associated with adenoma and CRC.Īmong 3177 PWH and 29,219 persons without HIV, PWH were more likely to be screened (85.6% vs. Newly published research suggests they may have found some in the form of a common white blood cell called a CD4 T cell lymphocyte also known, incidentally, as a helper T cell. We also assessed detection of adenoma and CRC with sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy by HIV status, accounting for CRC risk factors including sex, age, race/ethnicity, number of outpatient visits, smoking, body mass index, type-2 diabetes, and inflammatory bowel disease. In the frustrating 40-year effort to develop a vaccine for HIV/AIDS, hardworking scientists could certainly use some help. We evaluated time to first CRC screening (fecal test, sigmoidoscopy, or colonoscopy). This study included PWH and demographically matched persons without HIV who were aged 50-75 years during 2005-2016 and had no previous CRC screening. Limited data exist on CRC screening and outcomes comparing PWH and persons without HIV. As people with HIV (PWH) live longer, age-appropriate colorectal cancer (CRC) screening is increasingly important.
