Anal Cytology Collection Procedures in Predicting High-Grade Anal Dysplasia in Men Who Have Sex With Men

Status

Active, not recruiting

NCT ID

NCT02816879

This clinical trial compares three anal cytology collection procedures (collected at a single visit) in men who have sex with men (MSM). It also compares two different tests for human papilloma virus, the virus that causes high grade anal dysplasia, which is thought to occur before anal cancer. This study may help doctors develop better screening for high-grade anal dysplasia in MSM in order to identify those who need to return for additional screening and treatment.

Intervention

Laboratory Biomarker Analysis, Cytology Specimen Collection Procedure

Condition

Anal Carcinoma, HIV Infection, Human Papillomavirus Infection
