Table 1.

 Prevalence, incidence, and persistence or redetection of genital infection with carcinogenic HPV genotypes in 2185 female students, of whom 821 (38%) returned follow-up samples after a median of 16 months

Percentages for individual genotypes sum to >100% because women could be infected with >1 genotype.

*Detection of same carcinogenic HPV genotype in baseline and follow-up samples.

†Denominators exclude women with the same HPV genotype at baseline.

‡Infected with any of the same genotypes at follow-up.

§Defined as not HPV types 16 or 18.
