A new study published in Frontiers in Public Health aimed to investigate whether male circumcision (MC) can reduce women’s risk of acquiring sexually transmitted infections (STIs). This was a detailed systematic review of scientific literature that was undertaken to determine the relationship between MC and risk of STIs and associated conditions in women. Database searches identified 68 relevant articles and 14 publications. The results revealed that MC was associated with a reduced risk in women of being infected by oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes and of contracting cervical cancer. Data from randomized controlled trials and other studies confirmed that partner MC reduces womens risk not only of oncogenic HPV, but also Trichomonas vaginalis, bacterial vaginosis, and possibly genital ulcer disease. For herpes simplex virus type 2, Chlamydia trachomatis, Treponema pallidum, human immunodeficiency virus, and candidiasis, mixed evidence was found. On the other hand, male partner MC did not reduce risk of gonorrhea, Mycoplasma genitalium, dysuria or vaginal discharge in women. The findings indicated that MC reduces risk of oncogenic HPV genotypes, cervical cancer, T. vaginalis, bacterial vaginosis, and possible genital ulcer disease in women.
