Office of HIV and AIDS Malignancy

The NCI has played a major role in HIV/AIDS research since the beginning of the epidemic, when a cluster of cases of Kaposi's sarcoma was one of the harbingers of this new disease. NCI scientists have made a number of key discoveries in both HIV/AIDS and AIDS-associated cancer. Today, this research is coordinated by the Office of HIV and AIDS Malignancy (OHAM) and carried out in multiple divisions and offices of the NCI.

For patient information about HIV-associated malignancies, see Infectious Agents and HIV Infection and Cancer Risk.

OHAM Research Activities

OHAM manages four research programs and shares oversight for HIV/AIDS research activities across NCI and NIH.

Facilitating Scientific Discovery and Precision Medicine

The ACSR supports the biospecimen needs of the HIV/AIDS malignancy research community.

NCI HIV and AIDS Research

OHAM manages and facilitates major programs and initiatives in research, training, international studies, and clinical trials. Learn about research being conducted by OHAM and the NCI and how this research is driving important advances in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of HIV/AIDS and HIV-associated malignancies.

NCI Funding for HIV/AIDS Malignancies Research

Find funding for research to advance the study of HIV/AIDS-related cancers, including the application of big data and multidisciplinary studies that investigate treatment, co-infection, and aids-defining or non-aids-defining cancers.

HIV and AIDS Research Resources

NCI makes a number of resources available to investigators researching HIV/AIDS and HIV-malignancies. Find information on resources provided by the NCI that are specific to research in HIV/AIDS and HIV-associated malignancies and links to selected resources provided by other components of the NIH.

News & Events

OHAM monitors developments in HIV/AIDS research and curates a list of relevant events. Keep up-to-date with news about HIV/AIDS-related cancer research and learn about meetings and conferences in the field.
