This is a Single-center prospective pilot trial involving up to 22 subjects. This study will assess the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to the anal canal using the FDA cleared HALO Ablation System to eradicate anal HSIL lesions in HIV-negative subjects with intra-anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN). The study intervention will demonstrate that a reasonable proportion of subjects will be histologically cleared of their anal HSIL within the ETZ in a tolerable and relatively safe manner

Clearance of Anal HSIL (High Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (HSIL)
Participants with histologic clearance of anal HSIL within the ETZ (eligible treatment zone) at 12 months from first RFA treatment
Time frame: 12 months
Feasibility and Ease of Technique
Technical feasibility of applying RFA to the anal canal. Physician's assessment of ablation as optimal (complete ablation) versus sub-optimal (incomplete ablation)in the affected area in the anal canal. Data not collected and could not be analyzed
Time frame: 12 months
Tolerability
Subject tolerability of the RFA procedure as measured by severity. Mild: Awareness of signs and symptoms, but easily tolerated; are of a minor irritant type; causing no loss of time from normal activities; symptoms would not require medication or a medical intervention; asymptomatic lab findings; marginal clinical relevance; signs and symptoms are transient. Moderate: Discomfort severe enough to cause interference with usual activities; minimal intervention. Severe: Incapacitating with inability to do work or usual activities; signs and symptoms may be of systemic nature or require medical evaluation or treatment.
Time frame: 12 months
Adverse Events
Any related adverse event occuring in patients enrolled in this study. Event type and relationship to the device or procedure will be measured.
Time frame: 12 months
Progression of HSIL to Cancer
Histologic progression of HSIL to cancer as measured in biopsies read at the central pathology lab. Data not collected and could not be analyzed.
Time frame: 12 months
