With the growing number of patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome there has been a marked increase in the incidence of Kaposi's sarcoma. Kaposi's sarcoma of the penis was the initial presenting manifestation of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in 4 patients. Overall, less than 3% of all acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patients with Kaposi's sarcoma have the initial lesion on the penis. However, eventually almost 20% of those with Kaposi's sarcoma will have lesions on the genitalia. Therefore, urologists must have an understanding of the entity and its management. A conservative approach to treatment of these lesions is recommended.

Background: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) restores cellular immunity, significantly reducing AIDS-related mortality and morbidity thus improving the quality of life among People living with HIV (PLHIV). Studies done in several countries show a decline in AIDS defining cancers (ADCs) with the introduction of ART however the increased longevity has led to the increase of Non-AIDS defining cancers (NADCs). The study was aimed at studying the changing spectrum and trends of cancer among Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) patients in southwestern Uganda.

Background: Multimorbidity is increasingly prevalent in lower- and middle-income countries. Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) has been inversely associated with multimorbidity but is understudied in lower- and middle-income countries. We report cardiovascular disease (CVD) multimorbidity in Haiti and its association with HRQOL.

Background: Human herpesvirus-8 (HHV8) can present with cutaneous or extracutaneous manifestations. While violaceous skin lesions characterize cutaneous Kaposi sarcoma, extracutaneous HHV8 is challenging to diagnose due to nonspecific symptoms.
Objectives: We evaluated the role of microbial cell-free DNA next-generation sequencing (mcfDNA NGS) in diagnosing HHV8-related illness.
