Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–positive men who have sex with men (MSM) are at disproportionately high risk for anal cancer. There is no definitive approach to the management of high‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), which are precursors of anal cancer, and evidence suggests that posttreatment adjuvant quadrivalent human papillomavirus (qHPV) vaccination improves HSIL treatment effectiveness. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the optimal HSIL management strategy with respect to clinical effectiveness and cost‐effectiveness and to identify the optimal age for initiating HSIL management.
