Almost 620,000 gay and bisexual men in the United States were living with HIV in 2014, and 100,000 of these men were not even aware of their infection. These men are 100 times more likely to have anal cancer than HIV-negative men who exclusively have sex with women. Yet, no national screening guidelines exist for anal cancer prevention in any population.
Anal cancer is predominantly caused by chronic or persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. HPV infection can lead to the development of anal precancer which, if remains undetected or not adequately treated, may lead to anal cancer. Likewise, HPV infection is also responsible for causing cervical, vaginal, vulvar, oropharyngeal, penile and rectal cancers.
The objective of screening is to identify and treat these precancers to prevent occurrence of anal cancer. However, one of the reasons for the lack of screening guidelines is that anal precancer treatment has not yet been shown to prevent invasive cancer. Our study, published today in the journal Cancer, attempts to find a possible solution to prevent anal cancer in HIV-positive gay and bisexual men, using the best available data. We found that age-specific anal precancer management, including post-treatment HPV vaccination, can potentially lead to an 80 percent decrease in lifetime risk of anal cancer and anal cancer mortality among gay and bisexual men.
Anal cancer: the next big crisis
Some in the medical community have identified anal cancer as the next big crisis among HIV-infected gay and bisexual men.

Here's a handy reminder for them:
VAGINA
• has an acidic environment which hinders bacterial and viral growth
RECTUM
• has an alkaline environment, which promotes bacterial and viral growth
VAGINA
• is lined by a thick layer of stratified squamous epithelium which is resistant to tearing
RECTUM
• is lined by a thin layer of simple cuboidal epithelium which can tear easily with unnatural forces
VAGINA
• secretes a lubricant during intercourse
RECTUM
• does not secrete a lubricant, only expels feces
How can it be prevented? Be careful where you put your penis.
Why prop up mentally defective, genetic dead ends. The entire lifestyle is nihilistic. I really do not understand the logic.
Somebody ping Milo.
The “object” is to portray these perverts as “victims”.

i looked this up:
About 79 million Americans are currently infected with HPV. About 14 million people become newly infected each year. HPV is so common that most sexually-active men and women will get at least one type of HPV at some point in their lives.
Every year, approximately 17,600 women and 9,300 men are affected by cancers caused by HPV.
(mostly cervical cancer in women)
You hit the nail on the head.
So homosexual men are much more likely to get anal cancers. Ok, so then, apparently a major research study is needed, to determine causes of such conditions.
I had some ideas why the homosexual men had such anal conditions, without having to conduct a study.
Rectum issues are why so many homosexuals wear adult diapers: They rectums don’t close so they ‘leak’.
*gross*
Prevent anal cancer???
I can’t think of one thing that might work...
Truly at a loss here !!!
Oh dear. I was just having lunch
“. . . receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet” (Romans 1:27).
If only we could determine WHY! (Sarc tag needed?)
Rectum?
Darn near killed 'em.
If ANYONE needs to check their ‘Privilege’ it’s these guys!
620,000 GAY & BI-SEXUAL men in the USA have AIDS. 100,000 have it and don’t know it and are continuing to share it?
Shouldn’t the CDC be rounding these people up to protect the rest of us? What about the children? Isn’t having a deadly disease and knowingly giving it to someone a crime? Isn’t sodomy still a crime in most states?
I’ll never understand why these people have been given free reign to destroy themselves, Society and others with their selfishness and mental instability.
THAT is something I never needed to know.
“Come on everybody we’ve got quilting to do.”
Slippery slope.
Is this really necessary? Anyone who doesn’t know already shouldn’t be here.
Yes, indeed!
