Patterns of repeated anal cytology results among HIV-positive and HIV-negative men who have sex with men.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Men who have sex with men (MSM) are at increased risk for anal cancer. In cervical cancer screening, patterns of repeated cytology results are used to identify low- and high-risk women, but little is known about these patterns for anal cytology among MSM. METHODS:We analyzed Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS) data for MSM who were offered anal cytology testing annually (HIV-positive) or every 2 years (HIV-negative) for 4 years. RESULTS:Following an initial negative (normal) cytology, the frequency of a second negative cytology was lower among HIV-positive MSM with CD4???500 (74%) or CD4?
