All women were enrolled between the ages of 18-23 years and all participants who were included in this analysis were HIV negative at the time of sampling. Data are presented as median [IQR] or number of participants, and p-values are calculated by Wilcoxon or Fisher’s Exact test. One participant was excluded due to samples failing to meet quality metrics during RNA sequence data processing (see Methods).
