Male circumcision is NOT associated with HIV or HSV-2

“In this study population, circumcision status was not associated with HIV or HSV-2 seroprevalence or current genital ulceration …

This study did not detect the expected association between male circumcision and HIV seropositivity …

[…]

… our ability to detect any association between genital herpes and circumcision status or preference for circumcised partners was improved - no association was found.” [emphasis added]
