indicates 95% confidence interval generated using exact logistic regression due to 0 in one cell; cannot account for correlation within women

Both enrollment and exit samples were included. 409 women contributed a total of 29,230 women-types to the oral HPV analysis.

Indicates the total number of women multiplied by the number of HPV types evaluated per woman multiplied by the number of samples evaluated per woman.

§

Indicates the number of women–types positive for oral HPV

Includes chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital herpes, and HIV

Includes birth control pills, hormonal patches, vaginal rings, implanted contraception, injectable contraception, and hormonal intrauterine devices
