From what I've read, and heard from friends in Kenya (where circumcision is a prevalent tradition and the area has a high infection rate), is that circumcision reduces the infection rate because it hardens the skin of the penis - meaning less abrasions and cuts, meaning less blood mixing/contamination.
- chownie 5y agoThat and some studies have made the error of including recently circumcised men in their circumcised group, which drops their rate of infection drastically because they don't engage in sexual activity during the recovery period of their operation.
