NCT ID NCT02287961
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study followed 516 HIV-positive men who have sex with men over two years to track anal HPV infection and related lesions. Researchers used exams and anoscopy to see how often high-grade lesions appear or go away on their own. The goal is to gather evidence to better prevent anal cancer in this group.
