Studies by Weiss et al. and Ed Susman show a clear evidence that circumcised men are at significantly lower risk of acquiring HIV infection
According to meta-analysis by Weiss et al. of ten cohort studies (eight from Africa, one from India, and one from the United States) on association of MC and HSV-2 seropositivity, in which six studies were among men at generally low risk for STIs (general populations and outpatients) and four were among men at higher risk of STIs (bar workers, truck drivers, and sexually transmitted disease clinic attenders); in six studies, circumcised men were at lower risk of HSV-2 seropositivity than uncircumcised men on universal analysis and the association was statistically significant (P = 0.05) in three of these studies.[14,15]
According to a meta-analysis by Weiss et al.,[15] 14 studies examined the association between MC and serological evidence of syphilis infection from sub-Saharan Africa (9 studies), the United States (2 studies), Australia, India, and Peru, out of which 5 showed statistically significant reduced risk.
According to meta-analysis by Weiss et al.,[15] seven studies examined the association between MC and chancroid. Of these, three were from Kenya and the remainder from the United States, the United Kingdom, and the US and Australian military. Six of seven studies found a reduced risk of chancroid among circumcised men, and this was statistically significant in four studies. According to Balachandra and Sathish Pai, uncircumcised men are more susceptible to infection with Haemophilus ducreyi.[19]
In a large RCTs on immediate versus deferred circumcision by Tobian et al. and Gray et al., it was demonstrated that circumcision decreases HPV infection rates among HIV-negative heterosexual men.[20,21]
In a systemic review study by Van Howe,[18] studies which reported infections with any strain of HPV showed a higher prevalence in uncircumcised men, but the association was not significant. Furthermore, studies on infections with selective high-risk HPV showed no significant difference in the prevalence of HPV on the basis of circumcision status. No significant difference was found in either high-risk populations or general populations. This is in contrary to US CDC's draft circumcision recommendations.
In a cohort study by Diseker et al., uncircumcised men were significantly more likely to have gonorrhea than circumcised men.
