Abstract

A cross-sectional study that investigated the association between cervical infection of Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or Mycoplasma genitalium and infection with high-risk types of human papillomavirus among female sex workers in China found that the presence of cervical C. trachomatis or M. genitalium infection was independently associated with infection with certain high-risk types of specific high-risk human papillomavirus among this population.
