Adjusted for age, education, age of sexual partner, number of sexual partners within the last 12 months, and condom use at last sexual intercourse.

We included participants who had atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US), Atypical squamous cells - cannot exclude HSIL (ASC-H), Atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance (AGUS), Low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), High-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), Squamous cell carcinoma, Adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS).

We included participants who had LSIL, HSIL, Squamous cell carcinoma, and Adenocarcinoma in situ.
