TV is Trichomonas vaginalis, NG is Neisseria gonorrhoeae, HSV2 is Herpes simplex virus type 2, TP is Treponema pallidum, CT is Chlamydia trachomatis, BV is Bacterial vaginosis and MC is male circumcision.
Median time from HPV visit (at month 6 of the study) to HIV test follow-up
Calculated from person years follow-up and number of participants
In the original trial follow up was for 24 months. 1550 (71%) entered prolonged follow-up for 42 months. No median follow-up time was provided
Prevalence of oncogenic at baseline, prevalence of non-oncogenic HPV was 60.2%
In those who later became HIV positive
Prevalence of oncogenic HPV In those who later became HIV positive, the prevalence of oncogenic HPV in those who remained HIV negative was 32%
These HPV types are those covered by the nonovalent vaccine
In this study, MC relates to circumcision status of regular partner at baseline or of new partner during return visits
These unpublished data were provided by the authors and are additionally adjusted for the presence of other HPV genotypes
Unpublished data provided by the authors
Anal sample
Penile sample from glans/coronal sulcus
Penile sample, any site
HPV measured at two time points, and most recent used
At visit prior to seroconversion
At baseline
