In June of 2004, the journal ''[[Nursing Clinics of North America]]'' reported the following regarding '''homosexuality and anal cancer''':
{{cquote|One of the more pressing issues for [[homosexuality|gay men]] is anal carcinoma. Several recent studies have indicated the rate of anal dysplasia to be increasing in men with and without [[HIV]]. Ninety percent of men with HIV have the [[Human Papiloma Virus|human papiloma virus]] ([[HPV]]), while 65% of men without HIV have HPV. HVP type 16 is the most troublesome for developing cancer and is found in a significant portion of gay men.
Another risk factor for developing anal cancer is the use of recreational drugs anally...Inserting "crystal [[methamphetamine |meth]]" or ectasy in the rectum can lead to higher rates of anal dylpasia.<ref>[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&dopt=AbstractPlus&list_uids=15159188 Nursing Clinics of North America North Am. 2004 Jun;39(2):404]</ref>}}
In 1997, [[Concerned Women of America]] reported the following regarding [[homosexuality]] and anal cancer:
{{cquote|Homosexual men's practice of anal sex has left many of them victims of anal cancer. One article in the New England Journal of Medicine commented, "Our study lends strong support to the hypothesis that homosexual behavior in men increases the risk of anal cancer: 21 of the 57 men with anal cancer (37 percent) reported that they were homosexual or bisexual, in contrast to only one of 64 controls." The Journal of the American Medical Association also published similar findings: "Epidemiological studies have shown that risk factors for anal cancer include homosexuality, history of receptive anal intercourse, presence of anal condylomata, and smoking." And the International Journal of Cancer stated, "Being single and having practised anal intercourse appears to be associated with anal cancer and case reports have suggested a recent increase in the number of cases of anal cancer." Other studies have yielded the same conclusions.<ref>[http://www.cwfa.org/articles/959/CWA/family/index.htm Concerned Women of America - Health and Homosexuality]</ref>}}
