Abstract

Mersy Hete

Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) and is known to have a higher incidence among People Living With HIV (PLWH). The interplay between HIV infection and the immune system, along with the presence of other co-infections and chronic inflammation, creates a unique environment that promotes the development of DLBCL. This article delves into the relationship between the HIV environment and DLBCL, discussing the underlying mechanisms, risk factors, and potential therapeutic approaches. Understanding the complex interactions between HIV and DLBCL is crucial for optimizing patient management and improving outcomes in this population.
