Do we DARE? Improving digital ano-rectal examination in men who have sex with men living with HIV: a quality improvement initiative

Shannon C. Woodward, Alexandra H. Tyson, Sarah J. Martin Annual digital ano-rectal examination (DARE) is recommended in Australian Guidelines as an anal cancer screening test for people aged ≥45 years living with HIV. We assessed the baseline frequency of DARE discussion and recommendation to men who have sex with men attending our clinic for HIV care and used a quality improvement approach to increase DARE recommendations to this patient group. This audit can be replicated in other services.
