The circumcision would not protect against the sexually transmitted infections (STIs), in spite of the protective effect that it would have against the transmission of the HIV at the heterosexuals.

It is the conclusion of a survey of New Zealand led by 499 men, born in 1972 and in 19731. According to the results, there was not a meaningful difference between the number of case of ITS at circumcise them (24.4 cases for 1 000) and the no circumcise (23.4 cases for 1, 000).

The participants, of which 40.3% were circumcise, answered a questionnaire at the age of 21 years, 26 years and 32 years on their sexual practices and the ITS that they had contracted.

The researchers did not take account that of the bacterial infections (chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, etc..) And viral (herpes, condylomata, etc.).. They let of the side to yeast infections, scabies and the crab lice because they can propagate themselves otherwise that by sexual contact.

The results of this survey are comparable to others, gotten to the United States, to United Kingdom and in Australia, that regroups the total to more than 16 000 men, the researchers return. These results also concluded to the absence of the protective effect of circumcision against the transmission of the ITS.
