Oropharyngeal cancer manifests in two major ways: the classic form is prevalent among people who use alcohol and tobacco heavily, while a growing subset of incident cases is associated with human papillomavirus-16 (HPV) and transmitted via oral sex. Gay and bisexual men appear at higher risk for each etiologic subset of oropharyngeal cancer than heterosexual men. We conducted a cross-sectional study to learn how tobacco use, hazardous drinking, and other key risk factors affect gay and bisexual men\u2019s perceptions of oropharyngeal cancer risk and beliefs about screening at a doctor\u2019s office and self-screening at home.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We recruited 1,699 gay and bisexual men from two dating websites to participate in an online survey. We asked about tobacco use, alcohol consumption, sexual history, and other risk factors for oropharyngeal cancer. The survey also investigated participants\u2019 perceptions of oropharyngeal cancer risk and potential worry related to screening. We analyzed results at the bivariate level and in multivariable regression models. We used logistic regression to analyze categorical data and linear regression to analyze continuous data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Average age of participants was 41.5 (SD\u2009=\u200912.7) years. Most were cisgender (95%), and identified as gay (80%), while 19% were bisexual or pansexual, with 2% reporting being queer or a self-described sexuality. Factors associated with high perceived oropharyngeal cancer risk perceptions were cigarette smoking, using both cigarettes and vaping, being gay identified, number of sexual partners in the last 12 months, and having poor mouth\/teeth condition. Factors associated with oropharyngeal cancer screening worry were being Hispanic, having queer\/self-described sexuality, not having health insurance, and having poor mouth\/teeth condition. No factors were associated with self-screening at home. Alcohol use was not associated with oropharyngeal cancer risk perception.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study examines oropharyngeal cancer risk perceptions among gay and bisexual men. Health promotion efforts to reduce oropharyngeal cancer risk among gay and bisexual men should involve comprehensive oral health, sexual health, and tobacco use education.
