Dear Statalist,
I have a question about -prtest- command. There are two variables in my data: sex, hpv (like the contingent table below):
I would like to test the significance of difference of the p% of hpv (either negative or positive) between sex (i.e. Is HPV infection different by sex?) Since the sample sizes are different according to sex, I ran a t-test for the proportion. The only thing I'm not sure when interpreting the result is that where the difference lie in? Is that it means the proportion of negative is significantly different between sex or the proportion of positive? Thank you!

HPV | Female | Male | |
Negative | % | p1 | p2 |
Positive | % | p3 | p4 |
