Abstract
We assessed cumulative detection and determinants of anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) in men who have sex with men living with HIV who underwent three visits over two years, with cytology and high-resolution anoscopy (HRA), within the ANRS-EP57-APACHES study. Cumulative HSIL detection was 33% (134/410), of which 48% were detected at baseline. HSIL detection varied considerably by center (13-51%). Strongest HSIL determinants were baseline HPV16 (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 8.2; 95% confidence interval [95%CI] 3.6-18.9), and p16/Ki67 (aOR 4.6; 95%CI 2.3-9.1). Repeat annual cytology and HRA improved HSIL detection but did not fully compensate between-center heterogeneity.
