Association between viral persistence at 24 months follow-up and HPV viral load at month of initial detection among newly detected HR-HPVs^*

	Qualitative viral load

	Low (1–2)	High (3–4)	Unadjusted analysis		Adjusted analysis^**

	Persisting Viruses/Total viruses (%)	Persisting Viruses/Total viruses (%)	PRR (95% CI)	P	PRR (95% CI)	P

HIV-negative	15/142 (10.6)	16/84 (19.1)	1.75 (0.89–3.43)	0.10	1.67 (0.88–3.16)	0.114
HIV-positive	26/97 (26.8)	21/66 (31.8)	1.26 (0.77–2.04)	0.35	1.10 (0.68–1.79)	0.703
