Data for: "Association between cervical dysplasia and female genital schistosomiasis diagnosed by genital PCR in Zambian women"

A tabular dataset that contains information used to investigate an association between cervical dysplasia and female genital schistosomiasis diagnosed by genital PCR in Zambian women, aged 18-31. Women were recruited from the Bilharzia and HIV (BILHIV) study in Zambia, which was a community-based study comparing genital self-sampling to provider obtained cervicovaginal-lavage for the diagnosis of FGS in women aged 18-31. FGS was defined as positive Schistosoma DNA from any genital PCR. Urogenital schistosomiasis diagnostics included urine circulating anodic antigen, urine microscopy and portable colposcopy. Participants were offered cervical cancer screening using VIA at a local hospital. Associations of PCR confirmed FGS and other diagnostics with VIA positivity were assessed using multivariable logistic regression
