What are the risk differences between a circumcised person and a non-circumcised person getting HIV fom an infected person?
There have been many tests but they provide inconclusive results. Three tests done in Africa seemed to indicate that circumcision did reduced the risk of contracting HIV.

Nearly all studies stress the fact that whatever the result, circumcision can not be considered an effective form of prevention.
