HIV infection is associated with a high risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), especially
Burkitt's lymphoma (BL), which represents 10%–35% of HIV-associated NHL. The incidence
of NHL has tended to decrease in the combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) era. This
is not true for BL, for which the incidence appears to have been stable. Patients
with BL present peculiar characteristics with higher CD4 counts, higher viral load
and more recent HIV infection than other NHLs [
