  1. Results are based on high risk HPV DNA detection by Hybrid Capture 2 DNA test and presented among 537 women.
  2. *Other STDs reported were gonorrhea, syphilis and chlamydia infection; 95% CI = 95% confidence interval; AOR = adjusted odds ratio; HC2 = hybrid capture 2 HPV test; HIV = human immunodeficiency virus; OR = odds ratio; STD = sexually transmitted disease.
