Circumcised Men Less Likely to Get Virus That Causes Cervical Cancer
Associated Press
04.11.02; Janet McConnaughey

According to a study in this week's New England Journal of Medicine
(No. 346; Vol. 15), women whose sex partners are circumcised may be
less likely to get cervical cancer. The study found that men with
intact foreskins were three times more likely than circumcised men to
be infected with human papillomavirus. That, in turn, may increase the
risk of passing the virus on to their sex partners. The theory is that
the foreskin's inner lining is especially vulnerable to the virus.
This also raises questions about whether circumcision can reduce the
spread of HIV. Studies dating back to at least 1988 have suggested
that circumcision offers some protection against AIDS, but the
research does not prove it, and more definitive studies are underway.

Conducted by researchers in Spain and four other countries and
supported by the International Agency for Research on Cancer in
France, the cervical cancer study looked at nearly 3,800 women, half
of whom had cervical cancer and half of whom were cancer-free. There
was only a slight overall difference between the two groups in how
many had circumcised partners and how many had uncircumcised ones. But
the researchers found a strong difference in the risk of cervical
cancer when it came to women whose partners were especially sexually
active. Women whose high- risk partners were not circumcised were five
times more likely to get cancer than those whose partners were
circumcised. High-risk men were defined as those who had at least six
sex partners and started having sex before age 17.
