pcompared to single HPV16 infection. compared to multiple HPV16 without HPV18. CIN: cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. HPV: human papillomavirus. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were obtained including outcomes either as ordered, multinomial (CIN vs CIN2-3, invasive cancer) or binary (CIN3+ vs CIN1–CIN2). Exposure variables included age (continuous), HIV status (yes, no), parity (yes, no), cigarette smoking at entry (no, <10 cig/day, ≥10 cig/day), contraception use (no, hormonal, barrier, intrauterine device), and interacting HPV.
