Cervical cytology-based screening identifies trichomonas vaginalis as a significant correlate of non-16/18 high-risk human papillomavirus infection in high-altitude tibetan agro-pastoral communities: A cross-sectional study of 62,657 women
TV infection is significantly associated with non-16/18 HR-HPV in Tibetan women aged 30-49 years, suggesting a potential cofactor role. This association requires cautious interpretation due to unmeasured factors, with future studies needed to clarify these influences.
