Abstract | PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Human immunodeficiency virus ( HIV) infection is known to be associated with an increased risk of systemic nonHodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin disease, and primary central nervous lymphoma (PCNSL). The purpose of this review is to highlight recent advances in the diagnosis and management of lymphoma occurring in patients with HIV infection. RECENT FINDINGS: SUMMARY: The improved prognosis for patients with HIV-associated lymphoma in the post- HAART era indicates that therapeutic interventions may be potentially curative, and represent a shift away from therapeutic nihilism and reduced-intensity treatment approaches that have been employed in the recent past.
