Abstract B72: HPV knowledge and screening among gay men of color in South Florida

Conclusion: Similar to past research, HIV-infected gay and bisexual men reported willingness to screen for anal cancer, and they requested more widely communicated information about the risk for anal cancer and the need to screen. Future intervention work should use a community-based approach to raise awareness about SCCA among HIV-infected gay and bisexual men. Further, it is critical to ensure that both HIV primary care providers as well as general primary care providers promote HSIL screening, particularly among HIV-infected gay and bisexual men to prevent the development of anal cancer.Citation Format: Alexis Koskan, Natalie Leblanc.
