Bacterial Vaginosis and the Natural History of Human Papillomavirus

Table 3

Odds ratios for incident human papillomavirus among all HERS women and by HIV status.

Vaginal infection at prior visit	HERS overall	HIV infected	HIV uninfected
	(5587 visits)	(4038 visits)	(1549 visits)
	aOR (95% CL)	aOR (95% CL)	aOR (95% CL)
Bacterial vaginosis	1.24 (1.04, 1.47)	1.22 (1.00, 1.50)	1.22 (0.84, 1.77)
Trichomonas vaginalis	1.05 (0.84, 1.32)	1.11 (0.86, 1.44)	0.86 (0.53, 1.40)
Vaginal Candida colonization	0.97 (0.82, 1.15)	1.04 (0.86, 1.26)	0.75 (0.51, 1.11)

HIV: human immunodeficiency virus.
aOR (95% CL) = adjusted odds ratio and 95 percent confidence limits.
Conditional logistic regression models were adjusted for the following time-varying factors: illicit drug use, new or multiple male sex partners, and consistency of condom use since the last study visit. Model for HIV-infected women was also adjusted for CD4 group (<200, 200–500, and >500 cells/μL) and logarithm of viral load.
