Male Circumcision Significantly Reduces Prevalence and Load of Genital Anaerobic Bacteria

17 Apr 2013

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Male circumcision reduces female-to-male HIV transmission. Hypothesized mechanisms for this protective effect include decreased HIV target cell recruitment and activation due to changes in the penis microbiome. We compared the coronal sulcus microbiota of men from a group of uncircumcised controls (n = 77) and from a circumcised intervention group (n = 79) at enrollment and year 1 follow-up in a...
