Lower incidence of vaginal cancer after cervical human papillomavirus screening - long-term follow-up of Finnish randomized screening trial. Prev Med 2024; 185:108031. [PMID: 38849059 DOI: 10.1016/j.ypmed.2024.108031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Around 70% of vaginal cancers and 40-50% of vulvar cancers are attributable to human papillomavirus (HPV). Globally the burden of these diseases is estimated to grow due to the increasing HPV prevalence and rapidly aging global population. We aimed to examine if HPV screening for cervical cancer has an additional beneficial effect in preventing vaginal and vulvar cancers. To assess this, we used long-term follow-up data from the Finnish randomized HPV screening trial. METHODS Between 2003 and 2008, over 236,000 women were individually randomized (1:1) to primary HPV or cytology screening in Southern Finland. We followed this cohort up to the year 2020. To compare the study arms, we calculated site-specific and pooled incidence rate ratios (IRRs) and mortality rate ratios (MRRs) for vaginal and vulvar cancers using Poisson regression. RESULTS During 3,5 million person-years of follow-up, the IRR for vaginal cancer in the HPV arm compared to the cytology arm was 0.40 (95% CI 0.17-0.88) and the corresponding MRR was 0.74 (95% 0.21-2.24). The corresponding IRR for vulvar cancer was 0.73 (95% 0.50-1.08) and the MRR was 0.64 (95% 0.23-1.62). The pooled IRR was 0.67 (95% 0.47 ̶ 0.95) and MRR 0.67 (95% 0.31 ̶ 1.37). CONCLUSION We found lower incidence of vaginal cancers with HPV screening compared to cytology screening. To validate our results, we recommend analyzing data on vaginal and vulvar cancers also from other HPV screening studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To clarify the epidemiologic characteristics and risk of other tumors in survivors of gynecological tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective study based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (SEER). RESULTS The morbidity of other malignant tumors in patients with gynecological cancer was 8.07%. The most common subsequent tumors are breast, lung, colorectal, thyroid, and bladder cancers. Taking the incidence rate of the general population as reference, the second tumor with the highest relative risk in patients with cervical cancer is vulvar cancer. Bladder cancer is the second tumor with the highest relative risk value both in patients with corpus and ovarian cancer. The median period from the diagnosis of the initial tumor to the diagnosis of the second tumor was 5 years. Most patients with other tumors following gynecological cancer showed worse prognosis than patients with gynecological tumors only. However, thyroid cancer following ovarian cancer is a protective factor in survival. CONCLUSION Patients with gynecological tumors have a significantly higher risk of malignant tumors in other systems compared to ordinary population. It is necessary to be vigilant against subsequent high-risk tumors and tumors with poor prognosis within 5 years of initial diagnosis.

High-Risk Genotypes of Human Papillomavirus at Diverse Anogenital Sites among Chinese Women: Infection Features and Potential Correlation with Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:2107. [PMID: 38893229 PMCID: PMC11172096 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16112107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2024] [Revised: 05/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Both cervical cancer and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) are associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection at different anogenital sites, but the infection features of high-risk (HR) HPVs at these sites and their association with cervical lesions have not been well characterized. Given the limitation of cervical HPV 16/18 test in screening patients with high-grade CIN (CIN 2+), studies on whether non-16/18 HR-HPV subtype(s) have potential as additional indicator(s) to improve CIN 2+ screening are needed. METHODS The infection of 15 HR-HPVs in vulva, anus, vagina, and cervix of 499 Chinese women was analyzed, and CIN lesion-associated HR-HPV subtypes were revealed. RESULTS In addition to the well-known cervical-cancer-associated HPV 16, 52, and 58, HPV 51, 53, and 56 were also identified as high-frequency detected subtypes prevalently and consistently present at the anogenital sites studied, preferentially in multi-infection patterns. HPV 16, 52, 58, 56, and 53 were the top five prevalent subtypes in patients with CIN 2+. In addition, we found that cervical HPV 33/35/52/53/56/58 co-testing with HPV 16/18 might improve CIN 2+ screening performance. CONCLUSION This study provided a new insight into HR-HPV screening strategy based on different subtype combinations, which might be used in risk stratification clinically.

The features of high-risk human papillomavirus infection in different female genital sites and impacts on HPV-based cervical cancer screening. Virol J 2023; 20:116. [PMID: 37280665 DOI: 10.1186/s12985-023-02073-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2022] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The causal role of high-risk Human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) in the pathogenesis of anogenital cancers is well established. In contrast, information on HR-HPV distribution of continuous anatomic sites within the female genital tract is limited, and the impact of sample type on the clinical performance in HPV-based cervical cancer screening warrants investigation. METHODS A total of 2,646 Chinese women were enrolled in the study from May 2006 to April 2007. We analyzed the infection features by infection status and pathological diagnoses of 489 women with complete HR-HPV type and viral load data on the cervix, upper vagina, lower vagina, and perineum samples. Additionally, we assessed the clinical performance for detecting high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia of grade two or worse (≥ CIN2) among these four types of samples. RESULTS HR-HPV positivity rate was lower in the cervix (51.53%) and perineum (55.83%), higher in the upper (65.64%) and lower vagina (64.42%), and increased with the severity of cervical histological lesions (all P<0.001). Single infection was more dominant than multiple infections at each anatomic site of the female genital tract. The proportion of single HR-HPV infection decreased successively from the cervix (67.05%) to the perineum (50.00%) (Ptrend=0.019) in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 (CIN1) and was higher in samples of the cervix (85.11%) and perineum (72.34%) in ≥ CIN2. In addition, the highest viral load was observed in the cervix compared to the other three sites. The overall agreement of the cervical and perineum samples was 79.35% and increased continuously from normal (76.55%) to ≥ CIN2 (91.49%). As for the detection of ≥ CIN2, the sensitivity was 100.00%, 97.87%, 95.74%, and 91.49% for the cervix, upper vagina, lower vagina, and perineum samples, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Single HR-HPV infection predominated throughout the female genital tract, but the viral load was lower compared to multiple HR-HPV infections. Despite the decreasing viral load from cervix to perineum, the clinical performance for detecting ≥ CIN2 of the perineum sample was comparable to that of the cervix.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmissible infection worldwide. Although the prevalence of cervical HPV infection has been extensively reported in women worldwide, few epidemiological studies have examined the prevalence of non-cervical HPV infection among both women and men, especially in China. METHODS AND ANALYSIS PROGRESS-Plus is a national, multisite, cross-sectional study that aims to estimate the prevalence of non-cervical HPV infection in women and men aged 18-60 years residing in mainland China. More specifically, PROGRESS-Plus will estimate the prevalence rate of HPV DNA in oral samples from both women and men, and that of anogenital samples from men. The secondary study objectives are to (1) report the aforementioned prevalence rates by HPV genotype, age and geographical region, (2) examine the concordance (ie, prevalence of the same HPV genotype) between the oral and anogenital samples among men, (3) explore risk factors associated with oral (in both women and men) and anogenital (in men only) HPV infection and (4) describe study participants' health-related quality of life, health behaviour, sexual behaviour and health status. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study protocol and all required documents have been submitted for review and approval to the Independent Ethics Committees of all the participating sites. All participants will provide their written informed consent on study entry, and all the recorded data will be treated as confidential.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate type-specific concurrent anogenital human papillomavirus (HPV) detection and examine associations with concurrent detection. METHODS Data from a Dutch repeated cross-sectional study among young sexual health clinic visitors (Papillomavirus Surveillance among STI clinic Youngsters in the Netherlands) between 2009 and 2019 were used. Cohen's kappa was used to assess the degree of type-specific concordance of HPV detection between anal and genital sites for 25 HPV genotypes for women and men who have sex with men (MSM) separately. Associations with type-specific concurrent HPV were identified. Receptive anal intercourse (RAI) was forced into the model to investigate its influence. RESULTS Among women (n=1492), type-specific concurrent anogenital detection was common; kappa was above 0.4 for 20 genotypes. Among MSM (n=614), kappa was <0.4 for all genotypes. The only significant association with type-specific concurrent anogenital detection among women was genital chlamydia (adjusted OR 1.5, 95% CI 1.1 to 2.2). RAI was not associated. CONCLUSIONS Type-specific concurrent anogenital HPV detection was common among young women, and uncommon among MSM. For women, concurrent HPV detection was associated with genital chlamydia. Our results are suggestive of autoinoculation of HPV among women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the prevalence and risk factors of anogenital human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and neoplasia among women living with HIV (WLHIV) in China. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was conducted from 2019 to 2020, 409 WLHIV aged 18 years and older were recruited from an HIV treatment clinic in Yunnan, China. Cervical and anal samples were collected for HPV testing of 15 HPV genotypes and cytological interpretation. Women positive for cervical HPV or cytological abnormalities were recalled for colposcopy examination and biopsy when necessary. Prevalence of anogenital HPV infection and neoplasia were compared by logistic regression. RESULTS HPV prevalence was 34.2% (140/409) for cervical and 34.7% (142/409) for anal (high-risk HPV being 30.6% (125/409) and 30.3% (124/409), respectively). The most frequent genotypes were HPV-52, HPV-16 and HPV-58 in the cervix, HPV-52, HPV-53 and HPV-39 in the anus, with strong correlation between cervical and anal positivity, both overall and at a type-specific level. Cervical HPV was most associated with short duration of combination antiretroviral therapies (cART) (≤2 vs >2 years, adjusted OR (aOR)=2.25, 95% CI: 1.22 to 4.12) and high initial HIV viral load (≥1000 vs <1000 copies/mL, aOR=1.98, 95% CI: 1.10 to 3.58). Anal HPV was most associated with low nadir CD4 count (<200 vs ≥200 cells/µL, aOR=1.80, 95% CI: 1.01 to 3.22) and low current CD4 count (<350 vs ≥500 cells/µL, aOR=2.06, 95% CI: 1.00 to 4.36). CIN2+ prevalence was 4.6% and associated with low nadir CD4 count (aOR=4.63, 95% CI: 1.24 to 17.25). CONCLUSIONS Cervical and anal HPV were strongly correlated and, together with associated neoplasia, were highly prevalent among WLHIV in China. Early initiation of cART to avoid severe immunodeficiency should decrease anogenital HPV prevalence and related cancer burden among WLHIV. Incorporating anogenital cancer prevention services into HIV/AIDS care is warranted.

The association between viral load and concurrent human papillomavirus infection at the genital and anal sites of young women and the impact of vaccination. Tumour Virus Res 2021; 13:200233. [PMID: 34958987 PMCID: PMC8732794 DOI: 10.1016/j.tvr.2021.200233] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2021] [Revised: 12/17/2021] [Accepted: 12/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Concurrent genital-anal human papillomavirus (HPV) infections may impose an increased anal cancer risk in women with HPV-related genital lesions. High viral load may facilitate genital-anal HPV concurrence. Genital and anal HPV is reduced by a bivalent HPV16/18 vaccine, yet the effect on concurrent genital-anal HPV remains unclear. This study analyzed viral load in concurrent genital-anal HPV infections, relative to genital-only and anal-only HPV infections and the impact of vaccination in young women. We included 1074 women, who provided both genital and anal swabs. HPV detection and genotyping was performed using the SPF10-DEIA-LiPA25. HPV copy numbers were measured with type-specific qPCRs and corrected for cellular content to obtain the viral load. Concurrent genital-anal HPV often had significantly higher genital viral load (0.09–371 c/cell) than genital-only HPV (3.17E-04-15.9 c/cell, p < 0.0001 to p < 0.05). Moreover, nearly all concurrent genital-anal HPV types had higher genital copy numbers per PCR reaction (157-416E04 c/rxn) than anal copy numbers (0.90–884E01 c/rxn, p < 0.0001 to p < 0.001). Vaccinated women had significantly less infections with HPV16/18 vaccine-types (2.8% vs 13.7%, p < 0.0001) and HPV31/35/45 cross-protective types (7.4% vs 21.1%, p < 0.0001) than unvaccinated women. In conclusion, particularly high genital viral load is found in concurrent genital-anal HPV infections, which are effectively reduced by vaccination. Concurrent genital-anal HPV infections may impose a higher risk of anal cancer. These infections have increased genital viral load. The genital site is likely the main source of a concurrent genital-anal HPV infection. Vaccination effectively reduces concurrent genital-anal HPV infections.

Abstract
Background Human papillomavirus (HPV) associated cancers are increasingly reported globally, including in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, with the exception of cervical HPV infection, data from SSA on the epidemiology of oral and genital HPV infections are limited. This study assessed the prevalence and concordance of oro-genital and anal HPV genotype specific infections among women in the general population.
Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study in sexually active women aged 18–45 years in Ibadan, Nigeria. After a face-to-face interview and clinical examination, oral, cervical, vulvar, and anal samples were collected from participants and tested by the Anyplex II 28 HPV assay. Descriptive and multivariable analyses were used to report prevalence and risk factors associated with HPV infections. Results The prevalence of any vulva, cervical, anal, and oral HPV infections was 68.0% (210/309), 59.7% (182/305), 56.8% (172/303), and 16.1% (14/286), respectively. There was an inverse relationship between age-group and HPV prevalence of HPV in all anatomic sites except for the oral HPV infections. HPV 35 was the most prevalent high-risk HPV genotype in the vulva, cervix and oral cavity. Associated risk factors for HPV infection in each of the anatomic sites were reported. Overall, 10.0% (31/310) women had concordance of any HPV type in the four anatomic sites. Conclusion There was a high prevalence of oro-genital and anal HPV infections among sexually active Nigerian women, with concordance of HPV types in the cervix, vulva, anus and oral cavity. We advocate large longitudinal studies that will involve sampling of multiple anatomic sites and inclusion of other women in the community for better understanding of HPV epidemiology in this region.

Abstract
Little is known about the risk for acquiring a concordant human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in a genital (or anal) site after an anal (or genital) HPV infection. We collected 3 sets of anogenital specimens at 6-month intervals from 2,309 men and 2,378 women in Liuzhou, China, and tested these specimens for HPV. The risk for sequential anal HPV infection in participants with a previous genital HPV infection was higher than for participants without an infection (hazard ratio [HR] 4.4, 95% CI 3.4–5.8 for women and HR 2.6, 95% CI 1.4–4.6 for men). For sequential genital HPV infection, women with a previous anal infection had a higher risk (HR 1.9, 95% CI 1.2–3.1), but no major difference was found for men (HR 0.7, 95% CI 0.2–1.9). Our study indicates that autoinoculation might play a major role in anogenital HPV transmission, in addition to direct sexual intercourse, especially for anal infection in women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes anogenital warts and cancers in men and women. However, little is known about sex differences regarding the natural history of anogenital HPV infection. METHODS Starting in May 2014, an observational cohort study including 2309 men and 2378 women aged 18-55 years was conducted in Liuzhou, China. Samples from anogenital sites were tested for HPV genotypes by multicolor real-time polymerase chain reaction and melting curve analysis biannually for ~1 year. RESULTS The incidence of oncogenic HPV infection was similar in men and women (10.3 and 11.5/1000 person-months; P = .275), whereas the incidence of HPV-6/11 infection was higher in men than in women (2.0 vs 1.1; P = .018). The incidence of both oncogenic HPV and HPV-6/11 infections was significantly higher in women in the 18- to 25-year age group than in the older age groups (P = .006 and .011, respectively), whereas it did not vary by age among men (P = .552 and .425, respectively). Additionally, men were more likely than women to clear oncogenic infections (101.5 vs 58.6/1000 person-months; P < .001), but no significant difference was found in the clearance of HPV-6/11 by sex (111.7 vs 84.8; P = .266). The median time to clearance of oncogenic type and type 6/11 infections was not age dependent for either sex (all P > .05). CONCLUSIONS The natural history of oncogenic and nononcogenic HPV infection differs by sex, which implies that sex-specific vaccination strategies should be considered for oncogenic and nononcogenic HPV. CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRATION NCT02188004.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Knowledge of human papillomavirus (HPV) transmission dynamics, which have important public health implications for designing HPV vaccination strategies, is scarce in undeveloped areas. METHODS From May to July 2014, 390 couples were enrolled from the general population in Liuzhou, China. Exfoliated cells from male penis shaft/glans penis/coronary sulcus (PGC) and perianal/anal canal (PA) sites and from female vaginal, vulvar, and PA sites were collected biannually for 1 year. RESULTS The HPV type-specific concordance rate between couples was 15.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 8.5%-25.0%). For anogenital HPV transmission, the male-to-female transmission rate (11.5 [95% CI, 4.3-30.7] per 1000 person-months) was similar to the female-to-male transmission rate (11.3 [95% CI, 5.9-21.7] per 1000 person-months). The concordance rates between male PGC site and female vaginal, vulvar, and PA sites were 20.0%, 21.8%, and 14.9%, respectively, which were significantly higher than expected by chance. Infections transmitted from males to females seemed mainly originated from male genital sites, whereas for female-to-male transmission, the vaginal, vulvar, and PA sites might be all involved. CONCLUSIONS Among the heterosexual couples with relatively conservative sexual behavior, the anogenital HPV transmission rate for females to males is similar to that of males to females. In addition to the vagina and vulva, the female PA site is also an important reservoir for HPV transmission.

[PMID: 32008794 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2020.01.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2019] [Revised: 12/19/2019] [Accepted: 01/19/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES All cervical cancers and some vulvar, vaginal and anal cancers are caused by high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV). However, little is known about the association between cervical HPV infection and subsequent intraepithelial neoplasia and cancer at other anogenital sites. In this prospective cohort study, we estimated the risk of vulvar, vaginal and anal intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2/3 or cancer (VIN2+, VaIN2+, AIN2+) according to cervical hrHPV status. METHODS Liquid-based cervical cytology samples were collected from 40,399 women screened against cervical cancer in Copenhagen, Denmark, during 2002-2005. Samples were tested for hrHPV using Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2) and genotyped using INNO-LiPA. We linked the cohort with Danish nationwide registries to identify cases of VIN2+, VaIN2+ and AIN2+ during up to 15 years of follow-up. We estimated age-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) using Cox regression and cumulative incidences using Aalen-Johansen's estimator. RESULTS Women with cervical HPV16 infection had increased hazard of VIN2+ (HR = 2.6; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2-5.5), VaIN2+ (HR = 23.5; 95% CI, 6.8-81.6) and AIN2+ (HR = 3.7; 95% CI, 1.1-12.2) compared with HC2 negative women. Women with other hrHPV types than HPV16 also had increased hazard of VaIN2+ (HR = 7.1; 95% CI, 2.3-22.3) and a borderline statistically significantly increased risk of AIN2+ (HR = 2.2; 95% CI, 0.9-4.9) compared with HC2 negative women. The 10-year cumulative incidences of VIN2+, VaIN2+ and AIN2+ in women with cervical HPV16 were 0.3% (95% CI, 0.2%-0.7%), 0.2% (95% CI, 0.1%-0.5%) and 0.1% (95 CI, 0.0%-0.4%). CONCLUSIONS Cervical HPV16 infection is associated with increased risk of VIN2+, VaIN2+ and AIN2+.

Abstract
Introduction: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common viral infection of the reproductive tract. The persistent infection of high-risk HPV (hrHPV) is associated with cervical cancer. There exists a trend from no hrHPV genotyping, to partial and expanded hrHPV genotyping for the primary screening of cervical precancer. Areas covered: The authors first review HPV assays for screening use on the market. Then, they describe and compare the Zeesan MeltPro® HPV genotyping assay, a semi-automated full hrHPV genotyping assay working on a real-time PCR platform. Based on multicolor melting curve analysis, this assay allows individual identification of 14 hrHPV genotypes in a single reaction. Expert opinion: MeltPro® HPV genotyping assay provides a flexible choice for both high- and low-throughput screening. It is robust in diverse settings ranging from remote and underdeveloped areas to large screening centers. Extra merits such as low cost and ease-of-use would facilitate its implementation in cervical precancer screening, control, and prevention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical cancer screening might contribute to the prevention of anal cancer in women. We aimed to investigate if routine cervical cancer screening results-namely high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and cytohistopathology-predict anal HPV16 infection, anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and, hence, anal cancer. METHODS We did a systematic review of MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane library for studies of cervical determinants of anal HPV and HSIL published up to Aug 31, 2018. We centrally reanalysed individual-level data from 13 427 women with paired cervical and anal samples from 36 studies. We compared anal high-risk HPV prevalence by HIV status, cervical high-risk HPV, cervical cytohistopathology, age, and their combinations, using prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% CIs. Among 3255 women with anal cytohistopathology results, PRs were similarly calculated for all anal HSIL and HPV16-positive anal HSIL. FINDINGS Cervical and anal HPV infections were highly correlated. In HIV-negative women, anal HPV16 prevalence was 41% (447/1097) in cervical HPV16-positive versus 2% (214/8663) in cervical HPV16-negative women (PR 16·5, 95% CI 14·2-19·2, p<0·0001); these values were 46% (125/273) versus 11% (272/2588) in HIV-positive women (4·4, 3·7-5·3, p<0·0001). Anal HPV16 was also associated with cervical cytohistopathology, with a prevalence of 44% [101/228] for cervical cancer in HIV-negative women (PR vs normal cytology 14·1, 11·1-17·9, p<0·0001). Anal HSIL was associated with cervical high-risk HPV, both in HIV-negative women (from 2% [11/527] in cervical high-risk HPV-negative women up to 24% [33/138] in cervical HPV16-positive women; PR 12·9, 95% CI 6·7-24·8, p<0·0001) and HIV-positive women (from 8% [84/1094] to 17% [31/186]; 2·3, 1·6-3·4, p<0·0001). Anal HSIL was also associated with cervical cytohistopathology, both in HIV-negative women (from 1% [5/498] in normal cytology up to 22% [59/273] in cervical HSIL; PR 23·1, 9·4-57·0, p<0·0001) and HIV-positive women (from 7% [105/1421] to 25% [25/101]; 3·6, 2·5-5·3, p<0·0001). Prevalence of HPV16-positive anal HSIL was 23-25% in cervical HPV16-positive women older than 45 years (5/20 in HIV-negative women, 12/52 in HIV-positive women). INTERPRETATION HPV-based cervical cancer screening programmes might help to stratify anal cancer risk, irrespective of HIV status. For targeted secondary anal cancer prevention in high-risk groups, HIV-negative women with cervical HPV16, especially those older than 45 years, have a similar anal cancer risk profile to that of HIV-positive women.

Abstract
Anal cancer is primarily caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in both men and women. However, little is known about the sex differences in the natural history of anal HPV infection in a heterosexual population. From May 2014 to March 2016, perianal/anal canal (PA) swab samples were collected semiannually from 2,302 heterosexual men and 2,371 heterosexual women aged 18-55 years old in Liuzhou, China. The specimens were genotyped for HPV DNA by polymerase chain reaction. The incidence rate ratio (IRR) and clearance rate ratio (CRR) were used to analyze the sex differences of incidence and clearance by Poisson regression, respectively. The incidences of PA oncogenic HPV in men and women were 3.4 per 1,000 person-months and 8.6 per 1,000 person-months, respectively, with an IRR of 0.39 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.29-0.54 for men versus women) (p < 0.0001). The CRR of PA oncogenic HPV infection for men versus women was 1.54 (95% CI, 1.17-2.03) (p = 0.0022). At 12 months, 44% (20/45) of HPV 16/18 infections among women remained positive, whereas no (0/7) infections persisted among men (p = 0.0350). Both the higher incidence and slower clearance of anal carcinogenic HPV infection among women may lead to a higher burden of anal cancer among women than among men in a heterosexual population.
