Human immunodeficiency virus disease associated with other types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/964309231

This is a lentivirus (slowly replicating retrovirus) that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a condition in humans in which progressive failure of the immune system allows life-threatening opportunistic infections and cancers to thrive. This is a disease resulting in other types of a diverse group of blood cancers that include any kind of lymphoma except Hodgkin's lymphomas.
