Summary: This study aimed to examine the prevalence of anal cytological abnormalities in groups of HIV-infected and non-infected homosexual men, and to monitor changes with time. Dyskaryosis suggestive of anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN) was noted in 24 (30%) of the 80 satisfactory anal smears from 66 HIV-seropositive homosexual men; such changes were found in only 7 (4.7%) of the 149 satisfactory smears from 181 HIV-seronegative homosexual men ( P 0.005), and in none of 34 satisfactory preparations from 51 HIV-seronegative heterosexual men. In the follow-up of 20 HIV-seropositive men, the severity of the cytological abnormalities found in 2 men increased, with the most recent smear showing changes suggestive of AIN III; one of these men subsequently developed anal cancer. Smears from 4 men showed apparent regression in the degree of dyskaryosis. Although the numbers of patients studied were small, there appeared to be a trend towards a more severe degree of dyskaryosis in those men with increasing immunodeficiency. There was no significant difference in the detection of human papillomavirus types 6b, 11, 16 and 18 between HIV-infected and noninfected men. <

Objectives: To determine the incidence of HIV seroconversion in a community-based cohort of homosexual men in Sydney from 2002 to 2006. Methods: Participants were recruited between 2001 and 2004 from community-based events and venues. They were tested for HIV annually at follow-up interviews. Each year, the study database was matched against the national HIV register to identify additional HIV seroconversions among men lost to active follow up. The trend in HIV incidence over time was examined using Cox regression. Results: Among 1426 participants, 52 cases of HIV seroconversion were identified between 2002 and 2006, an incidence of 0.87 per 100 person-years (95% CI: 0.65–1.14). HIV incidence varied from 1.67 per 100 person-years in 2002 to 0.39 in 2006 (P trend = 0.282). The median age of HIV seroconversion was 36.9 years, ranging from 22 to 63 years. Conclusion: In this community-based cohort of highly sexually active homosexual men in Sydney, HIV incidence was close to 1% each year and declined non-significantly between 2002 and 2006. These data are consistent with surveillance data suggesting no increase in recent HIV incidence in homosexual men in New South Wales.
