77.5% of precursor lesions to anal cancer in 16- to 26-year-old
men who have sex with men.
According to Health Canada, 75% of sexually
active Canadians will have at least one human papillomavirus (HPV)
infection in their lifetime. Most people who contract HPV never
develop any symptoms or health problems.

to continue regular cervical cancer screenings.
