Abbreviations: AM, active monitoring; ART, antiretroviral therapy; CI, confidence interval; CILC, complete index lesion clearance; HIV, human immunodeficiency; HSIL, high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion; IRC, infrared coagulation; RR, relative risk.

a P values determined with χ2 test.

bVariables significant at P < .10 in univariate analyses were considered in the multivariable generalized estimating equations binary model for RR, which adjusted for clinical site and accounted for clustering of lesions within participant; the final multivariable model included only variables that were significant at P < .10 after adjustment for other variables in the model. Ethnicity and sum of greatest diameters did not meet inclusion criterion after adjustment for treatment, site, ART, and number of index lesions.
