Women (10,758) between 20 and 29 years of age with no history of abnormal cervical cell growth were given a cervical smear on joining the trial in 1991 and a follow up smear test 2 years later. Compared with women who were negative for human papillomavirus at enrollment, those who were HPV positive had a significantly increased risk at follow up of having squamous intraepithelial lesions; a precursor to invasive cervical cancer.
