Butthole Cancer is another way of referring to anal cancer. Anal cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the anal canal and the anus. It is a rare disease among the general population, but is very common among gay
men. Along with that, infections like HIV and Syphilis are also very common among gay
men.
Gay
men who
don’t have HIV are over 20 times more likely to get anal cancer than the general population. Gay
men who DO have HIV are about 100 times more likely to get anal cancer. Rates of anal cancer among gay
men have been increasing every year.
This is because gay sex often causes
anal fissures or tears. The anus is supposed to remove waste from the body, and having gay sex will eventually cause tears and cuts to the anus. These tears can get infected.
If you're a gay man, then your chances of getting infections and diseases like
HIV,
AIDS, Syphilis, and anal cancer (or
butthole cancer) are quite high.
