HPV and Anal Cancer for People with HIV
HPV and Anal Cancer: the Bottom Line
Is your butt getting enough attention? You get your viral load checked, your T-cell count checked, but what about your butt? Did you know that half of HIV+ men have cell changes caused by HPV? About one in five HIV+ women have these cell changes too, and those with abnormal cervical Pap smears may be at a higher risk for anal cancer. While deaths from AIDS are way down, anal cancer among people living with HIV is on the rise and can be prevented! Come listen to Dr Moe and learn how!
