  1. * values presented as percentages.
  2. ** referent: women who in 2006 had cleared a HR-HPV genotype present in 2001.
  3. *** referent: women who did not acquire a new HR-HPV genotype in 2006.
  4. a partner had sex with other women during their relationship or ever had sex with prostitute.
  5. b sexually transmitted disease.
  6. c ASCUS or worse.
  7. Bold: statistically significant at P value < 0.05.
  8. Inf: infinite odds ratio since the characteristic was present in 0% of cases; thus the CI is incalculable.
