Number of cancers in people with HIV (PWH) who present for care at domestic AMC sites
For each cancer group listed below, the number of new and existing cases per month will be estimated. The distribution of cancer types will be computed as percentages and compared to the cancer type distribution in the HIV/AIDS Cancer Match (HACM) Study: 1. Solid organ tumors associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection 2. Solid organ tumors unrelated to HPV 3. Kaposi sarcoma 4. Hematologic malignancies
Time frame: Enrollment
Proportion of participants eligible for AMC trials who are successfully enrolled
