*

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

Both enrollment and exit samples were included. 348 women contributed a total of 18,833 women-types to the fingernail 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 fingernail HPV

Includes chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital herpes, and HIV

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