Impact of excluded studies on medical male circumcision and HIV risk compensation

Yanxiao Gao and colleagues (July, 2021)1 present a systematic review and meta-analysis on the important topic of the association between voluntary medical male circumcision and HIV risk compensation among heterosexual men. Their findings indicate that there were no significant associations between medical male circumcision and multiple sex partners or condomless sex, suggesting that medical male circumcision does not increase higher risk sexual behaviours in heterosexual men.
