Early Treatment Reduces Risk of Anal Cancer in People With HIV [Captain Obvious Alert]
POZ.com ^ | October 8, 2021 | Liz Highleyman

Anal cancer, like cervical cancer, is usually caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is among the most common sexually transmitted infections, and most people acquire one or more strains of the virus not long after they become sexually active.

Previous research has shown that people with HIV have more types of cancer-causing HPV and are less likely to naturally clear the virus. What’s more, they tend to experience more rapid progression from low-grade cell changes to precancerous dysplasia (known as high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, or HSIL) to invasive cancer. Even people on effective antiretroviral therapy with an undetectable viral load and a high CD4 count can still develop anal dysplasia and cancer.

Men who have sex with men are especially susceptible to anal dysplasia and cancer, but women get it too. About half of men and one in five women with HIV have these abnormal cell changes. What’s more, HIV-positive gay and bisexual men have an 80- to 100-fold greater risk of anal cancer compared with the general population, according to ANCHOR lead investigator Joel Palefsky, MD, who established the world’s first clinic devoted to anal cancer prevention at UCSF in 1991.

More truth about the health hazards of homosexuality that won't make it out of this obscure, queer-centric website.

If you listen carefully to them, even the queers will tell you how damaged they are. But not publicly.

They’re talking treatment when they ought to be talking prevention. The exit is not the entry.

And that one queer is typical of the vast majority of homosexuals. And their shrinks are most likely homosexuals as well.

One of the downsides of getting poked in the butt.

Yes, it’s a one way door. Don’t break the hinges.

I’m guessing that a queer who was told if they take a certain medication they would become straight would unhesitatingly take it.

They are all mistakes of nature and they know it.

Bingo. One other strategy they rely on is constant "testing," which is like trying to drive your car using only the rearview mirror for navigation.

How times have changed.

Decades ago, on “The Phil Donahue Show” I saw a doctor give a long, detailed explanation of why anal sex was dangerous and why the activity would quickly cause permanent damage.

Phil Donahue, even back then, was a full blown lefty liberal. Yet, he just nodded along, never disagreeing, and allowed the doctor to make his point.

Fast forward to today. Would a TV show (or social medial outlet like Twitter or YouTube) allow him to speak, or would they yank him off the air before he got his second sentence out?

“Early treatment” would include a strict regimen of sexual abstinence. . .

In a world with 7+ billion people there will be some who will participate in anal sex, can’t stop it, can’t control it, so just let it go and don’t participate if you don’t like it. Worries about others doing anal sex are a waste of precious time.

How soon will we see vaccinated sodomites start experiencing unchecked cancer growth? If Dr Ryan Cole’s experience is correct, we should see an explosion in sodomite rectal cancer deaths.

Don't be so stupidly naïve. You think that those who participate in anal sex won't drag us into subsidizing, affirming, and celebrating their perversion, AS THEY DO NOW?

You forget the accurate axiom, "What is not prohibited shall be mandatory."

And it will somehow be construed to be normal society's - OUR - fault. We are such "homophobes" we drove them into their destructive behavior after all.

“Don’t be so stupidly naïve. You think that those who participate in anal sex won’t drag us into subsidizing, affirming, and celebrating their perversion, AS THEY DO NOW?”

Anal sex has been normalized in the west. Primarily due to the internet. Young people are exposed to porn and advocates for “alternative” sexual practices at levels never seen before.

I’ve always thought that Christians & conservatives targeting homosexuality was a mistake. What they should promote is normal sexual activity among heterosexuals.

• All sex should take place in marriage.
• Anal sex is unnatural & dangerous, and thus should not be part of a healthy, normal sexual relationship.

Make that the focus, and the question “is homosexuality OK?” never comes up.

You know what else reduces the risk of anal cancer? Not having anal sex.

Sorry, but any Christian message to promote normal sexual activity will still be viciously attacked and impugned by the homo-left.

We might as well go for broke.

I prefer the broken window strategy as used by the NYC police under Rudy Giuliani to clean up the city.

When you target the small transgressions, the larger ones become rarer.
