Overview

Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin of the penis. The practice of male circumcision for HIV prevention has been widely studied over the past decades and has been found to reduce the risk of HIV infection. Studies have suggested that male circumcision, in combination with other HIV prevention methods, is an effective strategy for reducing HIV transmission and can lead to a reduction in HIV-related illnesses and deaths. Additionally, circumcised men have been shown to have a lower risk of developing other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as syphilis, herpes, and human papillomavirus infection. Male circumcision is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) as an important HIV prevention strategy.
