Although screening programs for high\u2010risk populations have been advocated, concerns about possible adverse psychological consequences exist. This study aimed to investigate GBM\/MSM's experience, understanding and emotional response to screening techniques for anal cancer to determine how best to minimise psychological distress in future programs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In\u2010depth qualitative face\u2010to\u2010face interviews were conducted with 21 GBM\/MSM participating in the \u201cStudy of the Prevention of Anal Cancer\u201d in Sydney, Australia, between June 2013 and June 2014. Nonrandom, purposive sampling was used to ensure heterogeneity with respect to HIV status and screening test results. Framework analysis method was used to organise the data and identify emerging themes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Knowledge about anal cancer, human papillomavirus and the link between them was limited. Abnormal screening results affected participants' sense of well\u2010being and were associated with anxiety and concern about developing anal cancer. HIV\u2010negative men receiving abnormal results showed higher levels of distress compared to their HIV\u2010positive counterparts. Consultations with general practitioners about abnormal results had an important role in increasing participants' understanding and in moderating their anxiety.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Anal cancer screening should be accompanied by health education around anal cancer, its aetiology and the meaning of associated test results. Simple and effective communication strategies should be encouraged. Collaboration with general practitioners could assist the process of education and reporting test results.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/pon.4480","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,21]],"date-time":"2017-06-21T01:56:42Z","timestamp":1498010202000},"page":"125-131","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Experience and psychological impact of anal cancer screening in gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men: a qualitative study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3024-3316","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S.","family":"Russo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Behavioural Sciences Unit, School of Women's and Children's Health UNSW  Sydney Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K.","family":"Mccaffery","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health University of Sydney  Sydney Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Ellard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society La Trobe University  Melbourne Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Poynten","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Kirby Institute UNSW  Sydney Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"Prestage","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society La Trobe University  Melbourne Australia"},{"name":"The Kirby Institute UNSW  Sydney Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D.J.","family":"Templeton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Kirby Institute UNSW  Sydney Australia"},{"name":"RPA Sexual Health Sydney Local Health District  Sydney Australia"},{"name":"Central Clinical School University of Sydney  Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Hillman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Kirby Institute UNSW  Sydney Australia"},{"name":"St Vincent's Hospital  Sydney Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Law","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Vincent's Hospital  Sydney Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.E.","family":"Grulich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Kirby Institute UNSW  Sydney Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jnci\/djs491"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/cir1012"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1470-2045(12)70080-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","first-page":"335","volume-title":"Biology of Human Papillomaviruses","author":"Galloway DA","year":"1999"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization.IARC Monograph on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans: Human Papillomaviruses.
