Treatment options for HIV-associated NHL include the following:
Chemotherapy with or without rituximab.
In the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy, children with HIV and NHL are treated with standard chemotherapy regimens for NHL. However, the prevention (using prophylaxis) and early detection of infection is warranted.[1,13,14] Although the number of pediatric patients with HIV-associated NHL is too small to perform meaningful clinical trials, studies of adult patients support the addition of rituximab to standard treatment regimens.[15] Treatment of recurrent disease is based on histology using standard approaches.
