Abbreviation: ASCUS = atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance; ASC-H = atypical squamous cells but cannot exclude HSIL; ASIL = anal squamous intraepithelial lesions; HAART = highly active antiretroviral therapy; HIV = human immunodeficiency virus.
Sum may not always add up to total because of missing data.
Participants with normal cytology was treated as control.
CD4 cell count was measured in the past three months.
