“…Although research is scarce in this area, there is a growing body of literature which outlines the increasing prevalence of anal sexual practices among younger adults, with the peak in 30‐34 year olds 21, 22, 43. Studies indicate engagement in anal sexual behaviors has increased over time, with some lifetime prevalence estimates for heterosexual anal intercourse as high as 40% 21, 22, 43.…”

“…There is also suggestion that condom use with anal sex compared to vaginal sex is lower in heterosexuals. The physical implications of anal sex include trauma to the anus and rectum, as well as inflammatory responses to cleansers, lubricants, semen and/or STIs 43. There are also studies which physiologically link HPV to CRC tumors 31, 32…”

Trends in colorectal cancer incidence among younger adults—Disparities by age, sex, race, ethnicity, and subsite

Millennials (ages 18‐35) are now the largest living generation in the US, making it important to understand and characterize the rising trend of colorectal cancer incidence in this population, as well as other younger generations of Americans. Data from the New Jersey State Cancer Registry (n = 181 909) and Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program (n = 448 714) were used to analyze invasive CRC incidence trends from 1979 to 2014. Age, sex, race, ethnicity, subsite, and stage differences between younger adults (20‐49) and screening age adults (≥50) in New Jersey (NJ) were examined using chi‐square; and, we compared secular trends in NJ to the United States (US). Whites, men, and the youngest adults (ages 20‐39) are experiencing greater APCs in rectal cancer incidence. Rates among younger black adults, overall, were consistently higher in both NJ and the US over time. When compared to older adults, younger adults with CRC in NJ were more likely to be: diagnosed at the late stage, diagnosed with rectal cancer, male, non‐white, and Hispanic. Invasive CRC incidence trends among younger adults were found to vary by age, sex, race, ethnicity, and subsite. Large, case‐level, studies are needed to understand the role of genetics, human papillomavirus (HPV), and cultural and behavioral factors in the rise of CRC among younger adults. Provider and public education about CRC risk factors will also be important for preventing and reversing the increasing CRC trend in younger adults.

“…Let us take one example to illustrate the point: anal sex is undeniably part of the contemporary heterosexual repertoire, with c40% reporting at least one experience, and 10% (in both UK and US studies) reporting anal sex within the last three months (Javanbakht et al, 2010) to a year (McBride & Fortenberry, 2010). There are indications that prevalence is increasing (Gindi et al, 2008;McBride & Fortenberry, 2010).…”

“…Meanwhile, condom usage among heterosexuals reporting anal sex tends to be low (c.60% never use), while the same individuals are also more likely to report a history of STIs (Hensel et al, 2010;Javanbakht et al, 2010;McBride & Fortenberry, 2010). Studies in New York found only 38.3% of heterosexual men reported condom use at last sex compared to 62.9% of MSM (Pathela et al 2011) while only 23% of heterosexuals used condoms during anal sex, compared to 61% of MSM (The Body, 2010).…”

Blood, sex and trust: The limits of the population-based risk management paradigm

1 Blood, sex and trust: the limits of the population-based risk management paradigm.Keywords: Blood donation; HIV; risk-group; trust; MSM AbstractBlood screening is imperfect so Donor Health Check questionnaires (DHC) are used to defer those whose 'behaviour' suggests disproportionate risk of Blood Borne Infection (BBI).Taking the UK case, we compare deferment of three sub-populations with different HIV prevalence; Men-who-have-Sex-with-Men (4.7%), black-Africans (3.7%) and 'the-general-(heterosexual)-population' (c.0.09%) arguing that, with respect to STIs, DHCs assess risk based on broad population-level risk-groups not behaviour. This approach relies on an imaginative geography that distances heterosexual risk from the domestic population. Most DHCs knowingly commit the ecological fallacy allowing population-level statistics to obscure within-group diversity, identifying inadequately the risk posed by 'low-risk-groups'. The disjuncture between ontological risk phenomenon (diverse sexual practice) and the epistemological grid used to map risk (homogenized risk-groups) needs examination.Unpacking the category 'heterosexual' would both better differentiate risk within this group and change the relative-risk calculated for 'high-risk groups'. We call for practice-based DHCs that more accurately assess all potential donors.

IMPORTANCE Information about stage of cancer at diagnosis, use of therapy, and survival among patients from different racial/ethnic groups with 1 of the most common cancers is lacking. OBJECTIVE To assess stage of cancer at diagnosis, use of therapy, overall survival (OS), and cancerspecific survival (CSS) in patients with cancer from different racial/ethnic groups. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This cohort study included 950 377 Asian, black, white, and Hispanic patients who were diagnosed with prostate, ovarian, breast, stomach, pancreatic, lung, liver, esophageal, or colorectal cancers from January 2004 to December 2010. Data were collected using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, and patients were observed for more than 5 years. Data analysis was conducted in July 2018. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Multivariable logistic and Cox regression were used to evaluate the differences in stage of cancer at diagnosis, treatment, and survival among patients from different racial/ethnic groups. RESULTS A total of 950 377 patients (499 070 [52.5%] men) were included in the study, with 681 251 white patients (71.7%; mean [SD] age, 65 [12] years), 116 015 black patients (12.2%; mean [SD] age, 62 [12] years), 65 718 Asian patients (6.9%; mean [SD] age, 63 [13] years), and 87 393 Hispanic patients (9.2%; mean [SD] age, 61 [13] years). Compared with Asian patients, black patients were more likely to have metastatic disease at diagnosis (odds ratio [OR], 1.144; 95% CI, 1.109-1.180; P < .001). Black and Hispanic patients were less likely to receive definitive treatment than Asian patients
