Abstract
Background: Although people with HIV have a markedly higher risk of anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC), there are few evaluations of anal Pap screening determinants within safety-net HIV clinics.
Method: We conducted an evaluation of anal Pap screening correlates within a safety-net HIV clinic in Miami. Medical records were reviewed for 298 people ages 45 and older receiving HIV primary care. Demographic information and the prevalence of anal Pap screening over 1 year (i.e., 2018-2019) were extracted.
Results: Between 2018 and 2019, approximately half (46%) of patients completed anal Pap screening although this varied by sex assigned at birth. More than three-fourths of females (77%) compared to one-fourth (23%) of males were screened between 2018 and 2019 (p < 0.0001).
Conclusion: Findings underscore the need for multi-level intervention approaches to optimize anal Pap screening among males with HIV within the Miami-based safety-net clinic.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Behavioral Medicine (IJBM) is the official scientific journal of the International Society for Behavioral Medicine (ISBM). IJBM seeks to present the best theoretically-driven, evidence-based work in the field of behavioral medicine from around the globe. IJBM embraces multiple theoretical perspectives, research methodologies, groups of interest, and levels of analysis. The journal is interested in research across the broad spectrum of behavioral medicine, including health-behavior relationships, the prevention of illness and the promotion of health, the effects of illness on the self and others, the effectiveness of novel interventions, identification of biobehavioral mechanisms, and the influence of social factors on health. We welcome experimental, non-experimental, quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods studies as well as implementation and dissemination research, integrative reviews, and meta-analyses.
