Assessment of Relative Contributions of Lifestyle, Behavioral and Biological Risk Factors for Cervical Human Papillomavirus Infections in Female Sex Workers.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to identify and quantify the relative and collective contributions of lifestyle, behavioral, and biological risk factors to cervical HPV infections among female sex workers (FSWs) in Ibadan, Nigeria. This cross-sectional study was part of the Sexual Behavior and HPV Infections in Nigerians in Ibadan project and involved 182 FSWs for whom complete data on HPV genotypes were available. Quantile-based g-computation was employed to assess the relative and collective contributions of risk factors to any cervical HPV/hrHPV infections and multiple cervical HPV/hrHPV. The collective contribution of all selected risk factors to multiple high-risk cervical HPV was 2.47 (95% CI: 0.97-3.23). The number of other anatomic sites with HPV infections showed the highest positive relative co
