To provide evidence for HPV vaccination policies, we conducted this study to examine the prevalence and factor...

description Men who have sex with men (MSM) attending university are a high-risk population for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and are a neglected population of HPV vaccination programs in China. To provide evidence for HPV vaccination policies, we conducted this study to examine the prevalence and factors associated with anal HPV infection among MSM attending university in China. A self-administered online questionnaire was conducted to collect information on social demographics and sexual behaviors. A self-collected rectal swab specimen was collected to test for 37 HPV types. A total of 426 participants were tested for HPV. The median age was 20 years. HPV prevalence was 37.5% for any type, 29.8% for nine-valent vaccine types, 24.6% for four-valent vaccine types, 11.5% for HPV-16/18, and 15.7% for HPV-6/11. Men enrolled in a technical diploma, living in Northern China, having more than two sex partners, being bottom or versatile in anal sex, and having a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing history were more likely to have positive anal HPV of any type. Our study found a high prevalence of anal HPV infection among MSM attending university in China, with HPV vaccine-preventable types being the most popular types in this group. Thus, our findings highlight the urgency of promoting HPV vaccination among teenage MSM.
