Sociodemographic Predictors of Anal Cancer Screening and Follow-up in Human Immunodeficiency Virus–Infected Individuals
Conclusions:
High-risk groups for anal cancer should be targeted for preventative measures as part of a cancer prevention plan to decrease the personal and clinical burden associated with anal cancer.
Implications for Practice:
Cancer prevention is a multistep process that requires screening and follow-up efforts, where healthcare providers play a vital role in these efforts. Findings from this study can inform strategies to improve screening and follow-up rates in HIV-infected individuals.
