1

Model 1 includes laboratory documented STI history only.

2

STI variables reflect C. trachomatis, N. gonorrhoeae, and T. vaginalis.

3

Model 2 uses questionnaire reported STI history only.

4

Adjusted for cohort and prevalent vs. incident HPV at 1 st detected visit.

5

Latino, Native American, and Asian Pacific Islander vs. white were not significant and not shown in the model.

6

Likelihood ratio statistic for model 1 = 325.77 (p < 0.0001) for 2 nd event and 190.04 (p < 0.0001) for 3 rd event.

7

Likelihood ratio statistic for model 2 = 311.69 (p < 0.0001) for 2 nd event and 187.23 (p < 0.0001) for 3 rd event
