How the anal cancer epidemic in gay and bi HIV-positive men can be prevented
theconversation.com ^ | Sept. 26, 2017 | Various

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.

“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?”

Well no, you see, because that would be racist/sexist/homophobic/anti -whatever or something.

We can’t have that

“Rectum issues are why so many homosexuals wear adult diapers: They rectums don’t close so they ‘leak’.”

No shit?

Its interesting to look past the AIDS related complications and costs. Statistics, tell me how you want the data crunched.

Isn’t the answer to just use an “exit” as an exit and nothing more?

My question is why homosexual men do exactly that? I mean, you would think that they would be smart enough to figure other ideas than forcing something up a person’s rectum, right?

I for one, do not much care about the travails of the sexually depraved. Paying for mental health counseling, maybe, but not for self inflicted abuse.

Stop having anal “sex”, don’t be promiscuous and don’t engage other homosexual activities. Problems solved.
