Abstract
BACKGROUND: Anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) can be histomorphologically categorized into anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN) grade 2 (AIN2) and grade 3 (AIN3). Different risk factors for these two categories have been described. We investigated whether there were also differences in lesion-specific human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes. METHODS: The Study of the Prevention of Anal Cancer (SPANC) recruited 617 gay and bisexual men (GBM); 36% of participants were HIV positive. At baseline, 196 men (31.8%) had histologic HSIL lesions. Tissue was available for genotyping in 171, with a total of 239 HSIL lesions (183 AIN3 and 56 AIN2). Using laser capture microdissection, e..
