Abstract
The author of the article declares that the pathogenesis of the connection between HIV infection and cancer is an urgent problem for research at the present time and suggests studying the level of cancer biomarkers in a group of HIV-infected patients who used narcotic drugs in the past and in a healthy control group using immunological methods and statistical analysis methods.
The author clarifies that a selection of blood biomarkers can be useful for diagnosing the cause of infections, as well as for identifying cases when HIV infection turns into neoplasia. Clinical examinations of HIV patients and the results of laboratory studies on specific blood biomarkers provide a lot of information for clinical decision-making. Laboratory diagnostic methods are necessary for monitoring HIV infection and contribute to the proper quality of life of patients diagnosed with HIV.
