alt Hacker NewsLooking at healthcare stuff globally is misleading because of Africa. The ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic there makes death rates for anything that HIV/AIDS can contribute to highly malinformative. For instance in southern Africa, more than 60% of women with cervical cancer also have HIV. [1]
Oddly enough I can't find exact death rates from cervical cancer paired amongst those who had HIV/AIDS but this [2] hints at it, with 90% of all cervical cancer deaths coming in low/middle income countries, and with the "highest burden" (plurality I guess?) coming from sub-Saharan Africa where rates of HIV are the highest.

Very fair. These are UK data, and I’m unfortunately not well versed in their sources. Our American sources don’t seem to measure by age consistently enough for me to gather an estimate. If there is a comorbidity irrelevant outside Africa and rural Southeasr Asia, that will mess up the numbers.
