Correct answer: C — Standard stage-adapted curative Hodgkin-lymphoma chemotherapy
The best answer is “Standard stage-adapted curative Hodgkin-lymphoma chemotherapy”. Outcomes in well-controlled HIV approach those in HIV-negative patients when full curative therapy is delivered; the specialist team manages opportunistic-infection prophylaxis and antiretroviral interactions. BHIVA guidance governs investigation and treatment of HIV-associated disease and supports standard specialist care when HIV is virologically controlled. Hodgkin lymphoma treatment depends on stage, risk and fitness; people with controlled HIV should receive curative specialist regimens rather than reduced-intensity treatment solely because of HIV.
