Male Circumcision Reduces Two STD's
The two types of STD may reduce through male circumcision
According to a study in The New England Journal of Medicine, not only does male circumcision reduce prevalence of HIV infection in men, but it also reduces transmission of both Human Papilloma Virus and Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2.
A staggering 20 million Americans are currently infected with the Human Papilloma Virus(H.P.V), which is known to cause genital cancer, especially cervical cancers. Whereas there is currently no cure for Human Papilloma Virus, a new vaccine which works only in girls and women has been approved.Then, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, up to 45 million Americans aged 12 and above suffers from herpes or Simplex Virus Type 2, a terminal infection that causes persistent painful genital lesions.
There are more than 3,000 Ugandan men who are carried to do the randomized clinical trial and they are all free off Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2.They were made to undergo immediate circumcision or to undergo circumcision 24 months from the start of the study. Similarly, a subgroup was evaluated for possible H.P.V infection.
The report reads that out of the men initially circumcised, 114 tested positive for Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 and from the non circumcised group, 153 tested positive after 24 months. Subsequent to controlling a range of health and behavioral factors, the researchers discovered that circumcised men had more reduced risk of infection compared to the non circumcised men. Circumcised men had a 25 percent chance of escaping infection.
Circumcised men had even more reduced chances of infection after their sexual practices were adjusted. They had a 35 percent reduced risk compared to the uncircumcised men.Only 18 percent of the circumcised men tested positive after a two year period compared with approximately 28 percent in the control grouping and the study revealed conspicuous results about types of Herpes Simplex Virus that cause genital cancer.
According to Dr. Ronald H. Gray, a professor of reproductive epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins, the study shows that circumcision may have long time health benefits.But, It still remains unclear if the results of the research can be applied to men in the United States. However, previous studies and trials in South Africa yielded similar results.

HPV is so common and so easily transmitted (and not just sexually) that circumcision is going to make very little difference. The body usually gets rid of it without any help. According to the study, 1500 circumcisions delayed (not prevented) 39 cases of HSV-2 for 24 months. That’s 38.5 circumcisions - nearly 13 hours of a surgeon’s time - to delay one case. The surgeon could spend his or her time much more usefully. This is just the latest in a steady drizzle of studies making big claims about circumcision, but they all come from the same few researchers.
