Background • Anal cancer incidence increased among HIV-infected men • Anal human papillomavirus (HPV) infection • Immunosuppression • Need for effective anal cancer screening algorithms • Considerable interest in “anal Pap smear” evaluation • Existing data inadequate to inform guidelines • No randomized controlled clinical trials
Objectives 1) Describe prevalence of anal HPV within a contemporary cohort of HIV-infected men • Men who have sex with men (MSM) • Men who have sex with women (MSW) • 2) Describe the utility of anal HPV testing to detect the presence of anal cytopathology in these men anal cytology high resolution anoscopy HPV screening
Methods – Study Population • The “SUN” Study*: - Closed prospective observational cohort study 700 adults - Natural history of HIV disease in the contemporary era Minneapolis Providence St. Louis Denver * Study to Understand the Natural History of HIV/AIDS in the Era of Effective Therapy
Methods – Study Population • Inclusion • eitherARV-naïve with CD4 cell count 100-500 cells/µL • orHAART-experienced with CD4 cell count >100 cells/µL • Enrolled 2004 – 2006 • Sexuality (i.e., MSM vs. MSW) defined based on self report on an audio-computer assisted self-interview
Methods – Baseline Examination • Clinicians collected two Dacron® anal swabs at enrollment: • HPV screening • Roche Linear Assay 37 types – CDC (E. Unger) • Categorized as high-risk and low-risk types • Cytopathological examination • Bethesda system – UCSF (T. Darragh)
Results - Characteristics at Time of Specimen Collection * IQR = interquartile range (25th to 75th percentile), † n = 503, ‡ n = 497

Association of Anal HPV with Cytopathological Abnormalities, MSM (N = 375) • * Atypical cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) • Low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) • High-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) • **RR = unadjusted relative risk, † 95% CI = 95% confidence interval
Association of Anal HPV with Cytopathological Abnormalities, MSW (N = 89) * ASCUS, LSIL or HSIL, **RR = unadjusted relative risk, † 95% CI = 95% confidence interval

Limitations • We did not include severely immunosuppressed patients • We did not conduct simultaneous anoscopy and biopsies to assess correlation of cytology and histology • We did not examine negative predictive value of anal HPV testing for absence of abnormal anal histology
Conclusions • Anal HPV was highly prevalent among men in this contemporary cohort of HIV-infected patients • Anal HPV prevalence was significantly greater among MSM than among MSW • The absence of HPV (“negative test”) was highly predictive of the absence of anal cytopathology
Recommendations • As anal cancer screening algorithms are developed, the high negative predictive value of HPV testing for the absence of cytopathology we observed deserves further consideration as an initial screening step to exclude men from the need for high resolution anoscopy, especially among groups of men with low to moderate prevalence of anal HPV infection • Need randomized controlled study to examine utility of anal cytological screening for detecting abnormal histology and reducing anal cancer morbidity and mortality
