I feel fortunate to have a doctor who refers me to a specialist every year for specific anal examination and screening. I have confidence that any problems will be caught early enough for appropriate treatment...

Anal Pap is as simple as a cervical or vaginal pap. It isn't painful in the least. A number of cells lining the rectal wall are removed with a small brush and sent to pathology. An AAHIVM doctor is likely to recommend it to their MSM. Historic embarrassment leads to deficient colorectal healthcare. Early detection, removal and pathology of anal warts can save your life. Ask your Gastroenterologist for an opinion or geeky types, take a read: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3140331/

I've been around awhile, & I've never heard of an anal pap smear. My ID doctor has never mentioned this. It sounds painful.
