To determine whether statin exposure is associated with decreased cancer and mortality risk among persons with HIV (PWH) and uninfected persons. Statins appear to have immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects and may reduce cancer risk, particularly among PWH as they experience chronic inflammation and immune activation. Propensity score matched cohort of statin-exposed and unexposed patients from 2002–2017 in the Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS), a large cohort with cancer registry linkage and detailed pharmacy data. We calculated Cox regression hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) associated with statin use for all cancers, microbial cancers (associated with bacterial or oncovirus coinfection), non-microbial cancers, and mortality. The propensity score-matched sample (N=47,940) included 23,970 statin initiators (31% PWH). Incident cancers were diagnosed in 1,160 PWH and 2,116 uninfected patients. Death was reported in 1,667 (7.0%) statin-exposed, and 2,215 (9.2%) unexposed patients. Statin use was associated with 24% decreased risk of microbial associated cancers (HR 0.76; 95% CI 0.69–0.85), but was not associated with non-microbial cancer risk (HR 1.00; 95% CI 0.92–1.09). Statin use was associated with 33% lower risk of death overall (HR 0.67; 95% CI 0.63–0.72). Results were similar in analyses stratified by HIV status, except for non-Hodgkin lymphoma where statin use was associated with reduced risk (HR 0.56; 95% CI 0.38–0.83) for PWH, but not for uninfected (p-interaction = 0.012). In both PWH and uninfected, statin exposure was associated with lower risk of microbial, but not non-microbial cancer incidence, and with decreased mortality.
