Abbreviations: EBV=Epstein-Barr virus; hrHPV=high-risk human papillomavirus; HIV=human immunodeficiency virus; IQR=interquartile range; PR=prevalence ratio; ASCUS=atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance; AGUS; atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance; LSIL=low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions; HSIL=high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions.
Missing data: age at sexual debut (1); HIV serology (2); Chlamydia (1).
Age-adjusted PR (prevalence ratio) is the prevalence of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) by each potential risk factor. PRs shown in bold face are statistically significant (p<0.05).
Regular smoker was defined as ≥1 cigarette/day for 6 months.
Prevalence ratio for CD4 count is per 100 cell count change.
Low grade includes ASCUS (12), AGUS (2), and LSIL (36); High-grade includes HSIL (12) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (2).
