No evidence of anal cancer or Superficially Invasive Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Anus (SISCCA) 4. Willingness to use appropriate contraception (including refraining from sperm donation) 5. Age 18 years or older 6. Provision of written informed consent In addition, for subjects with HIV: 7. Adherence to a stable suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen, unchanged for at least two months 8. CD4+ count = 200 cells/µl 9. HIV viral load < 200 copies/mL for at least six months Exclusion Criteria: 1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) <1000 cells/µL 2. Haemoglobin <10.0 g/dL 3. Platelet count <75,000 cells/µL 4. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > three times upper limit of normal 5. Calculated or measured creatinine clearance (CLCr) = 50 mL/min (calculated by Cockcroft-Gault formula) 6. Patients with significant cardiac dysfunction including congestive heart failure, NY Heart Association Class II; Myocardial infarction within 12 months of starting study; unstable of poorly controlled angina 7. Current pregnancy or breastfeeding 8. Any condition not already outlined above which, in the opinion of the clinical investigator, would place the subject at risk if they participated or would jeopardise adherence or follow up |
