Table 2 Distribution of results for provider-collected (Provider) or self-collected (Self) specimen tested for HPV or visual inspection after acetic acid (VIA) by severity of the cytologic interpretation for women living with HIV. Abbreviations: N+, number of positives; %+, percent positive

From: A comparison of screening tests for detection of high-grade cervical abnormalities in women living with HIV from Cameroon

  HPV Testing: Provider HPV Testing: Self VIA
Severity of cytologic interpretation N N+ %+ p p+* p (CD4)* N+ %+ p p+* p (CD4)* N+ %+ p p+* p (CD4)*

  1. *Results on an ordinal logistic regression model for the association of the severity of the cytologic interpretation with screening test positivity adjusted for CD4 and age; p+ is the p value for likelihood of testing positive, and p (CD4) is the p value for the likelihood of lower CD4 counts with increasing severity of the cytologic interpretation. Age was not associated with severity of cytologic interpretation
