Children: son Jonah and daughter Ellie |  Circumcision and STDs. New study. | |
As reported at circumstitions, a study appearing in the March 2008 issue of the Journal of Paediatrics found that overall, up to age 32 years, the incidence rates for all STIs were not statistically significantly different - 23.4 and 24.4 per 1000 person-years for the uncircumcised and circumcised men, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings are consistent with recent population-based cross-sectional studies in developed countries [such as the Australian Study (International Journal of STD & AIDS August 1, 2006; 17(8): 547-54.) of about 10,000 men and the British Study (STI 2003 Volume 79: Pages 499-500, December 2003) of approximately 2,000 men and unlike the widely publicized Fergusson study] which found that early childhood circumcision does not markedly reduce the risk of the common STIs in the general population in such countries.
