title: Should HIV patients be considered a high risk group for the development of prostate cancer?
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Only very few case reports exist regarding the incidence of prostate cancer in younger HIV-infected patients.
  
  
  METHODS
  Two incidences of HIV-infected men diagnosed with prostate cancer, from a cohort of about 200 men treated at St George's Hospital aged 40 years or more are reported.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  On the basis of the evidence presented in both case reports and from the literature, clinicians should be aware that men with HIV infection should be considered a high-risk group for prostate cancer, and consider early PSA screening.
