Abstract in brief
The study was a randomized controlled trial in South Africa involving 3,274 uncircumcised men aged 18-24 to assess if male circumcision reduces HIV infection risk, showing a 60% protection rate.
Results indicated that HIV incidence was significantly lower in the circumcised group (0.85 per 100 person-years) compared to the control group (4.9 per 100 person-years), with a rate ratio of 0.40.
The findings suggest that male circumcision offers protection against HIV comparable to a highly effective vaccine, highlighting its potential role in HIV prevention efforts in sub-Saharan Africa.]
today's fact of the day: this RCT randomized 3k men to circumcision v control - demonstrated that, in high HIV-prevalence communities, adult male circumcision can reduce risk of HIV transmission by 60%. https://t.co/aGukp5MVFn #FOTD #MEDed @CleClinicUro

Here are the three randomized controlled trials that in the mid-2000s proved that circumcision lowers female to male HIV transmission risk. Real-world analyses have subsequently supported this conclusion. 2/

This study evaluated whether male circumcision reduces HIV infection risk in men aged 18-24 in South Africa, showing a 60% protection rate and highlighting its potential role in HIV prevention efforts.
This meta-analysis of three randomized controlled trials involving 11,050 men found that male circumcision significantly reduces the risk of heterosexually acquired HIV infection, with a relative risk of 0.44, meaning…
@Bouffeur2msemen @r4mses2 @anybvg_ Si. C'est plus hygiénique dans le sens où tu peux te nettoyer plus facilement en état circoncis, de plus ça aide à prévenir des maladies comme le VIH, même l'OMS avait mis en place des compagnes de circoncision des Hommes pour prévenir le VIH https://t.co/eLtjvih08u https://t.co/MrRdeJyt7d

1️⃣ Circumcision does not provide full protection from HIV just like water doesn’t fully protect from HIV but may reduce risk. It gives partial, not complete, protection. https://t.co/jDiyS0tvMa
2️⃣ WHO and UNAIDS (2023) confirm circumcision is optional and partial. Condoms,
