This analysis demonstrated significant interactions between BV status and changes in cervicovaginal IL-1α and sE-cad after condomless sex (F(2,52) = 13.45, p < 0.001; F(2,52) = 7.96, p = 0.001, respectively), meaning that the impact of condomless sex on these cytokines was different in women with and without BV. Here, IL1A is linked to bacterial vaginosis.
