In Botswana, a resource-limited setting, HIV status had no significant effect on 2-year OS in patients with cervical cancer with well-managed HIV receiving chemoradiation, RT alone, or palliative RT. This demonstrates that patients living with HIV receiving antiretroviral treatment can receive clinically appropriate treatment with no evidence that HIV may lead to poorer outcomes.
