Discover Magazine - Male Circumcision Cuts Risk of HIV, Herpes, and HPV Transmission
Research into the rates of infection of over 5,500 Ugandan men circumcised as adults showed lower rates for three viral infections HIV, Herpes and HPV. There was no reduction in syphilis, a bacterial STD. Circumcised men were 25% less likely for herpes, 30% less for HPV, and 60% less likely for HIV. The theory is that uncircumcised male foreskin is a breeding ground for viruses and bacteria.
