aIn univariate analyses, washing, wiping and insertion at follow-up visits were controlled for at study site
Multivariate analyses controlled for baseline factors and potential confounders that remained significant at P < 0.05: study site, age, educational status, women’s behavioral risk, high risk partner
OR odds ratio, AOR adjusted OR, CI confidence interval, na not applicable, ns non significant
