The most common hrHPV types were HPV-35 (15.0%) and HPV-16 (13.0%). Prevalence of hrHPV and multiple HPV infections were higher among HIV-infected than among HIV-uninfected MSM (85.2% vs 30.7%, P &lt; 10\u20135 and 85.2% vs 28.7%, P &lt; 10\u20135, respectively). Other STIs, except hepatitis B virus, were also more prevalent among HIV-infected MSM (Neisseria gonorrhoeae, P = .03; Mycoplasma genitalium, P = .04; HSV-2, P = .001; and a trend for Chlamydia trachomatis, P = .06). In multivariate analysis (adjusted odds ratio [95% confidence interval]), HIV (10.1 [4.0\u201325.6]), living in Lom\u00e9 (2.8 [1.1\u20137.1]), HSV-2 excretion (26.7 [2.9\u2013244.3]), C. trachomatis (11.7 [2.3\u201358.9]), and M. genitalium infection (9.6 [3.1\u201329.9]) were associated with increased risk of hrHPV infection.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
