CI, confidence interval; HPV, human papillomavirus; HR-HPV, high-risk HPV; LR-HPV, low-risk HPV; N/A, not available.

a

Incident (detected at a visit other than the first) HPV infection at the secondary site.

b

At least 1 of the genotypes at the primary site is concordant with the HPV infection at the secondary site.

c

The number of incident HPV infections at the secondary site after same-type HPV infections at the primary site during the study period.

d

Cumulative follow-up (months) across all participants/visits for the indicated exposure group.

e

Reference: no HPV infection at the primary site. Adjusted for age of participants at study entry and prior HPV coinfection at the secondary site.

f

Reference: single-type HPV infection at the primary site. Participants with no prior HPV infection at the primary site are excluded. Adjusted for age of participants at study entry and prior HPV coinfection at the secondary site.

g

Includes possibly oncogenic, nononcogenic, and undetermined-risk HPV types.
