a

“w/o 66” (rows 1 and 3) indicates analysis without including data for type 66. Data are presented based upon detection of HR HPV types in accordance with type-specific probes present in each assay. “with 66” (rows 2 and 4) indicates that data are presented including detection of HR HPV type 66 due to HC2 probe cross-reactivity, since samples were scored as positive with the HC2 assay and confirmed by PCR/sequencing to contain type 66. Pos, positive; Neg, negative; Sens, sensitivity;. Spec, specificity.

b

Total true-positive and true-negative samples were determined based upon concordant HC2/IHPV testing and discordant analysis.

c

Samples were scored as false positive or false negative if results were not concordant between IHPV, HC2, and sequencing.
