In the United States, improved understanding and therapy against the HIV virus since
1996 has been accompanied by a substantial decrease in those diagnosed with acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS); 41,113 new cases were diagnosed during the year
2000 [

,

]. A concurrent decrease in AIDS-related deaths, however, has increased the number
of persons living with the disease to an estimated 337,731 in the year 2000 [
[1]
]. Although it is more difficult to estimate, more than 900,000 people may be infected
with the HIV virus [

]. Anorectal disorders occur in 5.9% to 34% of the HIV population [
