No, sorry, I do not have any further info. I will also look further, although I doubt much will be revealed publicly if it suggests that nature responds negatively to homosexual activity. I would encourage you to contact NARTH directly-particularly Dr. Joseph Nicolosi, who has dedicated his life to helping homosexuals (who come to him for help)become chaste and/or reoriented. I have read some of his information, but would suggest you get the info. directly from the professionals who work in this field.

“I doubt much will be revealed publicly if it suggests that nature responds negatively to homosexual activity”

I think that if they found the mechanism behind a cause of anal cancer, this would be all over the major scientific journals. They wouldn’t have to blame it on gays — after all, heterosexuals do it too. There are too many people researching this desperately for a promising lead to go over 30 years uninvestigated.

“I would encourage you to contact NARTH directly-particularly Dr. Joseph Nicolosi...”

I would not encourage anyone to contact NARTH or Dr. Nicolosi for objective scientific information on anal cancer. Dr. Nicolosi has certainly spent a lot of time trying to help gay people stop being gay, and I think a lot of his efforts are well-intentioned, but he is not a scientist. He is a psychoanalytically-oriented therapist who has become pretty closed to scientific data that are not consistent with his world view. The whole field of psychoanalysis (tracing back to Freud) is remarkably devoid of science, with its emphasis on unconscious (and thus unobservable) processes. In any event, he is certainly no expert on anal cancer.
