The interaction between smoking status and highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) use on the risk of Kaposis sarcoma (KS) in a cohort of HIV-infected men

摘要

Background: Although the independent effects of smoking status and HAART are reported as lower risks against KS, their combined effects have not been explored. We examined whether there is an interaction between smoking status and HAART use on the risk of KS development in an on-going US cohort of HIV-infected men.
