a

Viral loads were normalized to the number of diploid human cells in the specimen as estimated by TaqMan PCR to ERV3 (ERV = endogenous retrovirus), and analyzed as a transformed continuous variable

b

OR = odds ratio

c

CI = confidence interval

d

SE = standard error

e

Dash indicates that the association was not significant at p < .15

f

Frequency of oral sex with a condom during the past 3 months with heterosexual partners

g

Frequency of oral vaginal sex (females only) or anal sex (females and males) without a condom or washing sex toys in between
