Abbreviations: Age5, age in years divided by 5; CI, confidence interval.

aReflects the relative change in the likelihood of γ-HPV detection associated with a 5-year difference in age.

bSmoking was defined as smoking at least 1 cigarette/day for ≥1 month; former smokers reported ever smoking but not currently smoking, and current smokers reported currently smoking.

cIncludes human immunodeficiency virus positivity or current receipt of immunosuppressive medications.

dRestricted to 245 women who provided information on these additional potential risk factors for oral HPV. These questions were added after the start of the study and therefore not presented to all participants.
