Article Synopsis
- Anal cancer is primarily caused by HPV, especially HPV-16, and often develops from anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs), with the highest incidence seen in men who have sex with men (MSM) living with HIV, particularly those over 50 years old.
- A study conducted in San Francisco between 2018 and 2022 found high rates of anal HSIL and oncogenic HPV among older MSM, regardless of HIV status; 47% of MSM living with HIV and 37% of MSM not living with HIV had anal HSIL.
- The results suggest that there is a significant prevalence of high-risk anal HPV types in this age group, indicating a need for anal cancer screening
The threats to human and animal health, biodiversity conservation, and our living planet's future are ever-present and increasingly more severe due to climate change and environmental degradation. There is an emerging discourse exploring the mental health dimensions contained within these changes. To better understand and respond to these impacts requires novel and creative methodological approaches built on conceptual frameworks that integrate perspectives from the social and natural sciences.

Background: Anal human papillomavirus (HPV) disproportionately affects men who have sex with men (MSM), particularly those who are older and those living with HIV. After experiencing difficulty recruiting older MSM into a study on aging and anal HPV, we conducted a sub-study to gain feedback on our recruitment methods and explore barriers and facilitators to participating in anal HPV research.
Methods: We conducted focus groups with 30 men who have sex with men (MSM), both HIV-negative and MSM living with HIV, ages 50-75.
Introduction: More than half of people living with HIV in the US are 50+ years old. Despite the benefits of antiretroviral therapy, older individuals with HIV are at higher risk for illnesses than their HIV-negative counterparts. Anal cancer, anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), and anal HPV-16 infection occur most frequently among men who have sex with men living with HIV (MSMLWH).
