Sexual Behavior and Partner Characteristics Are the Predominant Risk Factors for Genital Human Papillomavirus Infection in Young Women
Abstract
Risk factors for cervicovaginal human papillomavirus (HPV) infection were investigated in 604 college women. HPV was detected in 168 (27.8%) of the subjects by L1 consensus primer polymerase chain reaction, Southern blot hybridization, or both. Significant independent risk factors for HPV (P < .05) included age (odds ratios [ORs]: 2.6 for 21-23 years old and 1.6 for > 23, vs. < or = 20), ethnicity (ORs: 3.2 for black, 2.2 for Hispanic, vs. white/other), number of lifetime male vaginal sex partners (ORs: 4.5 for 2, 5.8 for 3 or 4, 10.3 for > or = 5, vs. 1), living with smokers (OR: 1.9), male partner's number of lifetime sex partners (ORs: 2.1 for 2 or 3, 3.1 for 4-10, 2.7 for > or = 11, vs. 1), duration of sexual relationship for > 12 months (OR: 0.6), and male partner currently in college (OR: 0.6). These data demonstrate that the predominant risk factors for genital HPV infection in young women are related not only to their own sexual behaviors but also to those of their male partners.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
