The Lancet Global Health Mar 20, 2019

Yuan T, et al. - All available evidence on the correlations between circumcision and HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in men who have sex with men (MSM) were reviewed to inform global prevention strategies for HIV and other STIs among MSM.

Findings stress including MSM in campaigns promoting circumcision among men in countries of low and middle income.
