Background In 2009, an estimated 3590 new heterosexually acquired HIV infections occurred in males in the United States. Three randomized controlled trials demonstrated that male circumcision decreased a man’s risk for HIV acquisition through heterosexual sex. We describe circumcision prevalence in US males and determine circumcision prevalence among males potentially at increased risk for heterosexually acquired HIV infection. Methods We estimated circumcision prevalence among men and boys…

Contribution of Anal Sex to HIV Prevalence Among Heterosexuals: A Modeling Analysis
TLDR
Despite uncertainties in model inputs, a substantial portion of the HIV burden among heterosexuals appears to be attributable to anal sex, and providing information about the relative risk of anal sex compared with vaginal sex may help reduce HIV incidence in heterosexuals.
Circumcision of Privately Insured Males Aged 0 to 18 Years in the United States
TLDR
The large number of nonmedical postneonatal circumcisions suggests that neonatal circumcision might be a missed opportunity for these boys, and Delay of non medical circumcision results in greater risk for the child, and a more costly procedure.
Estimation of country-specific and global prevalence of male circumcision
TLDR
The present study provides the most accurate estimate to date of MC prevalence in each country and territory in the world and estimates that 37–39 % of men globally are circumcised, which may help guide efforts aimed at the use of voluntary, safe medical MC in disease prevention programs in various countries.
Newborn circumcision: ensuring universal access.
TLDR
The major findings of the CDC study that circumcision prevalence is declining and that certain subpopulations are less likely to be circumcised and thus fail to realize the multiple medical benefits of circumcision are worrisome.
Circumcision rates in the United States: rising or falling? What effect might the new affirmative pediatric policy statement have?
Nationwide Circumcision Trends: 2003-2016.
TLDR
The finding that boys with public insurance have lower circumcision rates in all years may be related to lack of circumcision access for boys withpublic insurance.
Circumcision is a primary preventive against HIV infection: Critique of a contrary meta-regression analysis by Van Howe
TLDR
Flawed statistics, opaque presentation of results and inclusion of previously repudiated arguments downplaying a role for MC in HIV prevention programmes should lead readers to be sceptical of the findings and conclusions of Van Howe's study.

Aalborg Universitet Cultural background , non-therapeutic circumcision and the risk of meatal stenosis and other urethral stricture disease
Background: Meatal stenosis is markedly more common in circumcised than genitally intact males, affecting 5e20 per cent of circumcised boys. However, no population-based study has estimated the…
Estimated Impact of Targeted Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis: Strategies for Men Who Have Sex with Men in the United States
TLDR
It is found that a strategy of universal PrEP use by MSM was most effective in reducing HIV prevalence and incidence of MSM and targeted use of PrEP by Black and Latino MSM, however, had the greatest impact on HIV prevention.

Male circumcision and risk of HIV infection among heterosexual African American men attending Baltimore sexually transmitted disease clinics.
TLDR
Circumcision was associated with substantially reduced HIV risk in patients with known HIV exposure, suggesting that results of other studies demonstrating reduced HIVrisk for circumcision among heterosexual men likely can be generalized to the US context.
Prevalence of Circumcision and Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 Infection in Men in the United States: The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 1999–2004
TLDR
The prevalence of circumcision apparently peaked in those born in the 1970s and declined in those Born in the 1980s, and circumcision was not associated with HSV-2 infection.
Cost-Effectiveness of Newborn Circumcision in Reducing Lifetime HIV Risk among U.S. Males
TLDR
Newborn circumcision resulted in lower expected HIV-related treatment costs and a slight increase in QALYs, and was a cost-saving HIV prevention intervention for all, black and Hispanic males.
Coverage of newborn and adult male circumcision varies among public and private US payers despite health benefits.
TLDR
Presentation of evidence-based recommendations--for example, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention--may be necessary if coverage for newborn and adult male circumcision is to be expanded, and coverage varies across private and public payers.
Male Circumcision in the United States for the Prevention of HIV Infection and other Adverse Health Outcomes: Report from a CDC Consultation
TLDR
Consultants suggested that sufficient evidence exists to propose that heterosexually active males be informed about the significant but partial efficacy of MC in reducing risk for HIV acquisition and be provided with affordable access to voluntary, high-quality surgical and risk-reduction counseling services.
Infant male circumcision and future health disparities.
TLDR
The expected changes in prevalence of MC-related infections and the increased treatment costs that would result from reduced MC are forecast, and Documentation that MC not only reduces the burden of STIs for both men and women but also reduces lifetime treatment costs should provide compelling arguments in favor of infant MC.
Male circumcision for HIV prevention in young men in Kisumu, Kenya: a randomised controlled trial
Male circumcision for HIV prevention in men in Rakai, Uganda: a randomised trial
Male circumcision and risk of HIV infection in sub-Saharan Africa: a systematic review and meta-analysis
TLDR
The results suggest that consideration should be given to the acceptability and feasibility of providing safe services for male circumcision as an additional HIV prevention strategy in areas of Africa where men are not traditionally circumcised.
History of circumcision, medical conditions, and sexual activity and risk of penile cancer.
TLDR
The results suggest that the absence of neonatal circumcision and potential resulting complications are associated with penile cancer, and medical conditions of the penis, sexual activity, infection with HPV, and smoking may increase the risk forPenile cancer.
