HIV Men have a higher than expected rates of certain non aids related cancers, tonsil cancer is SIR 10.9, standardized incidence ratios to compate cancer risks of HIV positive to HIV negative.

I havn't seen many numbers on many articles, only that HIV positve have an increased frequency of HPV associated oral lesions, higher risk of HPV, and with CD-4 counts less than 350, 200, a three-fold increase of tonsilar cancers on various abstracts, but Dr. Gillison has mentioned some, high risk HPV in HIV at 13.7 percent vs 4.5 in non HIV.
