“…Compared to White men, a recent investigation found that a greater proportion of Black men reported ever having had symptoms of HPV, and were less knowledgeable about HPV than White men [5]. Even in male populations at greatest risk, such as HIV-infected men and men who have sex with men (MSM), previous findings have indicated HPV knowledge deficits [6,7]. …”

Introduction Black and Hispanic men are diagnosed with more HPV-related cancers and at later stages compared to other racial/ethnic groups. Physician communication with men about HPV vaccination may be beneficial to increasing HPV vaccinations and decreasing HPV transmission. The purpose of this study was to examine HPV and HPV vaccine awareness among men by race, and the association between trust in cancer information from physicians and ever hearing about HPV and the HPV vaccine. Methods U.S. adult males (age 18+) were identified from the 2014 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) (n = 1203). Binomial logistic regression models assessed the influences of race/ethnicity and trust of cancer information from physicians on men having heard of HPV and the HPV vaccination. Results Approximately 50% of the sample had never heard of HPV and 53% had never heard of the vaccine. Black men were less likely to know that HPV is sexually transmitted compared to White and Hispanic men (p < 0.001). Hispanic and Black men were less likely to have heard about the HPV vaccine when compared to White men (p < 0.001). Additionally, Hispanic men were less likely to trust a doctor about cancer information compared to White and Black men (p < 0.001). Conclusion Findings highlight the lack of awareness about HPV among men. Furthermore, statistically significant racial/ethnic differences were found in HPV vaccine knowledge and trust in receiving cancer information from physicians. Future interventions should include community-based approaches and improved physicians' HPV-related communication to increase knowledge and uptake of the HPV vaccine.

“…In contrast, one American study found that 100% of the 94 hiv-positive msm participants correctly identified hpv as a cause of anal cancer. However, only 36% of participants in the same study knew that hpv causes genital warts 19 . Similarly, the Australian and Serbian studies found that only half of the participants were aware that hpv causes genital warts 23,27 .…”

“…A total of nine articles met the inclusion criteria: six articles pertained to knowledge of hpv and anal cancer among hiv-positive msm, and the remaining three articles related to acceptability of self-sampling among msm. Four studies were conducted in the United States [19][20][21][22] , three in Australia [23][24][25] , and the remaining two in Canada 26 and Serbia 27 , respectively. All articles related to hpv and anal cancer knowledge were quantitative, utilizing self-administered questionnaires for data collection.…”

Human papillomavirus (hpv) infection is the cause of anal squamous cell cancer (ascc) in 80% of cases. Available research has also shown high prevalence of anal hpv infection among men who have sex with men (msm). However, hpv vaccination is low among msm in Canada. In light of this information, we conducted a scoping review with the aim of exploring (1) the knowledge of hpv and anal cancer among hiv-positive msm and (2) the acceptability of hpv and anal cancer self-sampling in this population. In conducting the review, we searched five electronic databases for peer-reviewed articles and abstracts published in English, between 2007 and 2017. A total of 803 articles were retrieved; after accounting for duplicates (40) and unmet criteria (754), a total of 794 articles were excluded. A final total of nine articles were used in this review. Results of this review show that hiv-positive msm have limited knowledge regarding the risks of anal cancer associated with hiv and hpv coinfection. Furthermore, there is limited research on hpv and anal cancer self-sampling in this population. However, the review of available studies suggested that hiv-positive msm were open to anal cancer self-sampling. It also identified potential barriers to self-sampling. In conclusion, we provide suggestions and future directions for policy-makers and educators to develop inclusive and accessible strategies to reach hiv-positive msm regarding anal cancer education and self-screening.
