Male circumcision and risk of syphilis, chancroid, and genital herpes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Published in: Sexualy Transmitted Infections, 2006
Via: Docuticker

Potential male circumcision interventions to reduce HIV in high risk populations may provide additional benefit by protecting against other STI
