Abstract

Although anal cancer is rare in the general population, its incidence is unacceptably high in people living with HIV. Among people living with HIV older than 45 years, incidence rates are 100 per 100 000 person years in men who have sex with men (MSM), 37 per 100 000 person years in men who have sex with women (MSW), and 30 per 100 000 person years in women.1 Anal cancer screening has been recommended by several organisations to reduce anal cancer morbidity and mortality.2,3 Screening includes a digital anal rectal exam (DARE) to detect masses associated with cancers and collection of anal swabs for cytology or human papillomavirus.
