[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm still confused. Prior studies show circumcision does not decrease HIV risk for men who have sex with men, right? In the U.S., HIV still occurs primarily among men who have sex with men. Presumably a very high percentage of MSM with HIV in the U.S. we're circumcised, since, historically, most men here have been circumcised. Yet circumcision didn't protect those men. So it protects just men who have sex with women? Why would that be? [/quote] Studies were done in Africa (largely Uganda) where there are different sexual practices. There is a large value placed on friction (where most in the US value lubrication). Drying powders or dry sex increases the risk of vaginal tears, which largely explains the higher rate of male-to-female transmission in Africa vs. the US.[/quote]
