Median JSD values are shown for MSU microbiota on days when the participant reported (“Yes”) or did not report (“No”) vaginal intercourse or oral sex. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for statistical analyses. P values of <0.05 represent statistical significance (bold). N/A (not applicable), participant did not report the personal factor. n, number of participants.
