Abbreviations: cART, combination antiretroviral therapy; CI, confidence interval; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; hHSIL, histological high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion; OR, odds ratio; VL, viral load.

aThe denominators do not sum to 256 for some variables due to missing responses; variables with the most missing data are annual income (n = 20), lifetime male sex partners (n = 11), and education (n = 9).

bχ2 or Fisher exact test.

cWe did not include the unsure/declined group in the P value calculation as there were only 6 observations in the latter group.
