HIV itself is not directly oncogenic, but it is associated with an increased risk of certain cancers due to its immunosuppressive effects. The virus leads to a prolonged state of immune deficiency, which can result in opportunistic infections and malignancies like Kaposi's sarcoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and invasive Cervical cancer. These cancers are often linked to co-infections with oncogenic viruses, such as HPV and EBV, rather than HIV directly causing cancer. Thus, while HIV contributes to cancer risk, it does so indirectly through immune system compromise.
