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.

But these are the most wonderful people on Earth the best parents far better than heterosexual couples. And they make the best news announcers too like Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon.
Oh, cr@p. Well, we had a good run for 227 years! ;)
Now, when they sign up for Obamacare and self-identify as homosexual, are their insurance rates higher due to the higher risks?
Actually, most homosexual men are in better health than their heterosexual counterparts and suffer from less heart disease, the leading cause of death.
It is interesting to look into these things.
Poor example.
This is Darwin’s Law at work.
I think the idea is basically to challenge the community to come up with a line of reasoning whereby this problem can be blamed on homophobia, or (failing that) on genetics.
No, no, no, no.
Not letting more men butt **** you would be a good first step for these poofters to take.
If they are not willing to take that precaution then they can just enjoy their cancer.
Preferably without medical coverage or government handouts.
Messy Poofters!
I'd like to see a link to that.
Ergo, engaging in homosexual behavior is good for the heart? :-)
[Rectum issues are why so many homosexuals wear adult diapers: They rectums don’t close so they ‘leak’.]
Yes, but its a perfectly natural lifestyle according to our betters.
Vagina. “Designed” (by an Intelligent Designer perhaps) to accept alien members and grow children in a protected, sterile-enough environment.
Rectum. “Designed” (by the same Intelligent Designer (er, evolution) to expel highly contaminated matter fecal matter at one end into the world, well away from the bodies (sterile) internal fluids and organs.
Tear the rectum and you force the contamination into the body, inside the body and and its organs.
Now, does anything think this is a good idea? A good way to “have fun, win friends and influence people”?
Romans Chapter One.
Why do I call it a “deathstyle?” For over 20 years, my wife was a member of a well-known ladies chorus. One of their first directors was a gifted musician who also happened to be openly homosexual. He died a slow, agonizing death — at age 43 — of AIDS. How “gay” could THAT be? Most homosexuals — many of whom have as many as several hundred unprotected encounters a year — ARE dead at an early age of HIV infections which explains why there are so few OLD homosexuals. And even that “protection” ain’t. With even the condom manufacturers admitting to a 20% failure rate, it’s akin to playing Russian roulette with your willie.
Bill Clinton’s CDC released figures a few years ago reflecting that fully 85% of all AIDS/HIV cases are
1. Active, non-monogamous homosexuals, (the largest subset)
2. Heterosexuals and bisexuals who have had sex with group 1 and
3. IV drug abusers who share needles.
(Kinda gives new meaning to Romans 6:23, doesn’t it?)
The remaining 15% are those who have contracted AIDS via other, non-sexual/non-drug means SUCH AS TRANSFUSIONS OF TAINTED BLOOD (which one homosexual “leader” on the West Coast URGED his fellow homosexuals to CONTINUE to attempt to contaminate in order to involve the straight community in the push to increase federal funding for AIDS research).
What a guy — er — GAY!
I know, it is such a mystery. I'm still stuck on discerning the motives of the Allahu Akbar crowd.
Yeah. Seems pretty cut & dry. Don’t use an anus for sexual purposes. It’s not made for that.
Why is this so hard to understand? Oh, I forgot. We have to dance around and around the obvious first. Then dance around denial. Then demonize those who disagree with the obvious.
That’s not as bad as, early in Aids Epidemic, when they portrayed them as heros.
