  1. *Model 1: Mutually adjusted for all variables shown; model 2: most parsimonious set of independently explanatory variables via stepwise regression with backwards elimination (due to collinearity issues between HPV16 and viral load, only HPV16 viral load was retained as covariate for the models shown).
