*

Median titer was calculated after excluding all negative serologies.

**

Any value greater than the number listed for that type-specific assay was considered positive.

***

Seroconversion was defined as any value below the cut-off for that type specific assay at enrollment and any value greater than the assay cut-off at the second collection.

IgG= Total IgG for each HPV type and cLIA= competitive luminex immunoassay for each HPV type listed.
