The association of anal cancer with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is well established; however, little is known about epidemiology of anal HPV in healthy women. We investigated patterns of duration and clearance of anal HPV infection in a cohort of healthy women in Hawaii. Viral and non-viral determinants of anal HPV clearance were examined through a longitudinal cohort study of 431 sexually active women. At baseline and at 4-month intervals, interviews were conducted and cervical and anal cell specimens were obtained for HPV DNA detection. Fifty percent of the 431 women experienced a total of 414 incident anal HPV infections at one or more clinic visits from baseline through an average 1.2 year follow-up period. Of these infections, 58% cleared during follow-up. The clearance rate for a high-risk (HR) anal infection was 9.2 (95% confidence interval (CI): 6.9–11.9) per 100 woman-months with a median duration of 150 days (95% CI: 132–243 days). The slowest clearing HR-HPV types were HPV-59 (median, 350 days) and HPV-58 (median, 252 days). Median clearance times for HPV-16 and -18, the predominant types associated with anal cancer, were 132 days and 212 days, respectively. Non-viral factors that delayed clearance of anal HPV included douching, long-term tobacco smoking and anal sex. The majority of anal HPV infections resolve in a relatively short time. Although anal HPV is commonly acquired in healthy women, its rapid clearance suggests limited efficacy of HPV testing as an anal cancer screening tool.
