Anal Cancer Screening and PLHIV: What You Need to Know

Australia has new guidelines for anal cancer screening in people living with HIV—but what does that actually mean right now? We’re joined by Professor Andrew Grulich from the Kirby Institute to unpack who should be screened, what’s available today (like DARE exams), and why swab-based screening is still a few years away. We also explore the latest in treatment and where to find accurate, community-friendly info. This episode's for anyone who has anal sex, but particularly for people living with HIV.
