Any HPV, any of the 28 HPV types detected by the Anyplex II HPV28 assay; PR, prevalence ratio; aPR, adjusted prevalence ratio; CI, confidence interval. Multivariable models were developed using backward selection (P < 0.3 to enter, P < 0.15 to stay); variables considered in models included age, age of first sexual experience, age of current and first sex partners, number of sex partners past 12 months, condom use in past 3 months, tobacco use, and among males, circumcision.
