Risk of smoking-related cancers among women and men living with and without HIV.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

We investigated whether the effect of smoking on the incidence of smoking-related cancers differs by HIV-infection status, if sex modifies the impact of risk factors for smoking-related cancers, and the sex-specific attributable risk of smoking on cancer incidence.

Design

Data from two large prospective studies in the United States were analyzed: 6789 men in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study from 1984 through 2018 and 4423 women in the Women's Interagency HIV Study from 1994 through 2018.

Methods

Incidence rates, relative risks, and adjusted population attributable fractions (PAFs) were calculated for smoking-related cancers.

Results

During study follow-up, there were 214 incident smoking-related cancers in the men and 192 in the women. The age-adjus
