The International Anal Neoplasia Society (IANS) developed consensus guidelines to inform anal cancer screening use among various high-risk groups. Anal cancer incidence estimates by age among risk groups provided the basis to identify risk thresholds to recommend screening. Guided by risk thresholds, screening initiation at age 35 years was recommended for men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TW) with HIV.

- The study examined the incidence of anogenital HPV infections in 295 men who have sex with men (MSM) and 1,576 heterosexual men (HM) aged 16-27 years participating in a global HPV vaccine trial.
- Results showed that MSM had significantly higher incidence rates of persistent HPV infections at various anatomical sites compared to heterosexual men, particularly at anal sites.
- The findings suggest that gender-neutral HPV vaccination could reduce infections in males, improve overall public health protection, and lessen the disease burden associated with HPV.
