Starting in 2015, human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine has been publicly funded for gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBM) 26 years or younger in Canada.
Self-identified GBM who reported having sex with another man within the past 6 months were enrolled using respondent-driven sampling (RDS) between February 2017 and August 2019 in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver, Canada. Men aged 16 to 30 years self-collected anal specimens for HPV-DNA testing. Prevalence was estimated using RDS-II weights. We compared the prevalence of quadrivalent (HPV-6/11/16/18) and 9-valent (HPV-6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58) vaccine types between GBM who self-reported HPV vaccination (≥1 dose) and those reporting no vaccination using a modified Poisson regression for binary outcomes.
Among 645 GBM who provided a valid anal specimen (median age, 26 years; 5.9% HIV positive), 40.3% reported receiving ≥1 dose of HPV vaccine, of whom 61.8% received 3 doses. One-quarter were infected with ≥1 quadrivalent type (crude, 25.7%; RDS weighted, 24.4%). After adjustment for potential confounders, vaccinated GBM had a 27% lower anal prevalence of quadrivalent types compared with unvaccinated GBM (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR], 0.73; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.54-1.00). Lower prevalence ratios were found among vaccinated participants who were vaccinated >2 years before enrollment (aPR, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.25-0.86) or received their first vaccine dose at age ≤23 years (aPR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.42-0.99). Point estimates were similar for ≥2 or 3 doses and 9-valent types.
Human papillomavirus vaccination was associated with a lower anal prevalence of vaccine-preventable HPV types among young, sexually active GBM. Findings will help inform shared decision making around HPV vaccination for GBM and their healthcare providers.
自 2015 年起,加拿大开始为 26 岁及以下的男同性恋、双性恋和其他与男性发生性行为者(GBM)提供人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)疫苗的公共资助。
2017 年 2 月至 2019 年 8 月期间,采用响应驱动抽样(RDS)方法在加拿大的蒙特利尔、多伦多和温哥华招募了自我认同为 GBM 且在过去 6 个月内与另一名男性发生过性行为的参与者。年龄在 16 至 30 岁之间的男性自行采集肛门标本进行 HPV-DNA 检测。使用 RDS-II 权重估计患病率。我们比较了报告接种(≥1 剂)和未接种 HPV 疫苗的 GBM 之间四价(HPV-6/11/16/18)和九价(HPV-6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58)疫苗类型的患病率,使用二项结果的修正泊松回归进行比较。
在 645 名提供有效肛门标本的 GBM 中(中位年龄 26 岁;5.9% HIV 阳性),40.3%的人报告至少接种过 1 剂 HPV 疫苗,其中 61.8%接种了 3 剂。四分之一的人感染了≥1 种四价型(未校正率,25.7%;RDS 校正率,24.4%)。在调整了潜在混杂因素后,与未接种疫苗的 GBM 相比,接种疫苗的 GBM 肛门四价型的患病率降低了 27%(调整后的患病率比[aPR],0.73;95%置信区间[CI],0.54-1.00)。在疫苗接种≥2 年或 2 年以前(aPR,0.47;95%CI,0.25-0.86)或首次接种年龄≤23 岁(aPR,0.64;95%CI,0.42-0.99)的参与者中,比值比更低。对于≥2 剂或 3 剂和 9 价类型,点估计值相似。
HPV 疫苗接种与年轻、活跃的 GBM 中可预防 HPV 类型的肛门患病率降低相关。这些发现将有助于就 GBM 及其医疗保健提供者的 HPV 疫苗接种做出共同决策。
