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.

2

Median time from HPV visit (at month 6 of the study) to HIV test follow-up

3

Calculated from person years follow-up and number of participants

4

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

5

Prevalence of oncogenic at baseline, prevalence of non-oncogenic HPV was 60.2%

6

In those who later became HIV positive

7

Prevalence of oncogenic HPV In those who later became HIV positive, the prevalence of oncogenic HPV in those who remained HIV negative was 32%

8

These HPV types are those covered by the nonovalent vaccine

9

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These unpublished data were provided by the authors and are additionally adjusted for the presence of other HPV genotypes
