Abbreviations: ASC-H, atypical squamous cells, rule out HSIL; ASC-US, atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance; CI, confidence interval; HSIL, high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion; LSIL, low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion; NILM, negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy.

a The age-specific risk for infection with 1 carcinogenic HPV genotype were the reference values used to calculate the age-specific risk ratios (ORs) for infections with >1 carcinogenic HPV genotype. P = .0007, by χ2 analysis, for the risk of HSIL in women infected with 1 vs those infected with ≥2 genotypes; P > .05, by χ2 analysis, for the risk of HSIL in women infected with 2 vs those infected with >2 genotypes.
