Description

Summary

This research trial studies the incidence of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection and HPV-associated disease in screening Indian men who have sex with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive men. Gathering health information over time from Indian men who have sex with men (MSM) may help doctors determine how many HIV -positive MSM develop new HPV infections and how many HIV-positive MSM have HPV related disease.

Official Title

Investigating Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Infection and HPV-Associated Disease in Indian Men Who Have Sex With Men Who Are HIV-Positive

Details

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the prevalence of HPV-associated premalignant lesions in the anus and penis in Indian HIV-seropositive men who have sex with men (MSM).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Describe risk factors for prevalent premalignant lesions in the anus and penis in Indian HIV-seropositive MSM.

II. Describe the prevalence and incidence of penile and anal HPV infection in Indian HIV-seropositive MSM.

OUTLINE:

Participants receive a questionnaire and undergo a targeted physical and anal clinical exam at months 0, 6, and 12. Participants also undergo a penile skin cell and anal swab at months 0, 6, and 12 for cytology, HPV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and CD4+ T-cell count at months 0 and 6 and HIV viral load testing at months 0 and 12. Participants also undergo high-resolution anoscopy (HRA) and penile clinical exam at month 12.
