Any penile swab sample that tested positive for HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, or 52 by Linear Array was then tested by quantitative PCR to quantify the number of HPV viral copies present in the sample.
Mean number of HPV viral copies detected per 5 μl of sample.
SE of the mean.
T-test probability for difference in means between trial arms at each visit.
