It can but it's VERY rare from what my
doctor said. She said it's basically
nothing to worry about.

Anal cancer caused by HPV is roughly the
same type of health concern as is
cervical cancer in women. Men (and I
guess anyone who engages in frequent
anal sex) can get a sort of Pap smear
for it. See

I don't have this type but I know of a
woman who died after five years because
she refused to get treatment. They will
put you to sleep to treat this type.
Noone else needs to die from this!
