Why is it not surprising that AIDS patients frequently suffer a viral-induced tumor?

A. HIV genomes integrate into the host cell chromosome. This integration might result in loss of control of the cell cycle (also known as cancer). B. The immune system's CD4+ T cells are directly responsible for elimination of tumor cells. HIV attacks them and eliminates them, making a person more susceptible to cancer. C. The therapies for HIV are highly mutagenic, which may lead to cancerous states in people taking the drug regimen. D. Products of an active HIV infection are highly mutagenic-so, as a person's illness progresses, these mutagenic compounds build up and are more capable of inducing a cancerous state.
