^* One HIV negative sample had invalid results for HPV genotyping. There was a statistically significant association between HIV and HPV and abnormal cervical cytology. A HIV positive patient was more likely to be HPV positive and also more likely to have abnormal cervical cytology as compared to a HIV negative patient (n = 224).
