  1. CIN: cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, CC: invasive cervical câncer, AIS: in situ adenocarcinoma. HPV infections, whether single type or multiple type, did not differ in women with CIN1 or CIN2 or worse (p = 0.66). The prevalence of MT infection was significantly higher in women with CIN2 or worse compared to those with glandular lesions (p = 0.04).
