PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Evidence of the protective effect of voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) against HIV is well established. However, evidence of the protective effect of VMMC against other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) has been inconsistent or scarce across different populations and settings. This review summarizes the current evidence on the effect of VMMC for HIV prevention on acquisition and transmission of other STIs in heterosexual men, women, and men who have sex with men (MSM). RECENT FINDINGS: Recent findings continue to strongly support the protective effect of male medical circumcision against acquisition and transmission of herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), human papillomavirus (HPV) and syphilis infections in heterosexual men and women, and bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis in women. There is emerging evidence on the protective effect of VMMC against acquisition of hepatitis B and Mycoplasma genitalium infections in heterosexual men, and HSV-2, HPV, and syphilis in MSM. SUMMARY: Evidence on the protective effect of VMMC against acquisition and transmission of common STIs is available for heterosexual men and women but more evidence is required for MSM. This review supports policy recommendations for the protective benefits of VMMC against STIs.
目的综述:自愿男性包皮环切术(VMMC)对预防 HIV 的有益作用已经得到了充分证实。然而,在不同人群和环境中,VMMC 对其他性传播感染(STIs)的有益作用的证据并不一致或缺乏。本综述总结了目前关于 VMMC 预防 HIV 感染对异性恋男性、女性和男男性接触者(MSM)中其他 STIs 获得和传播的影响的证据。
最近发现:最近的研究结果继续强烈支持男性医学包皮环切术对预防异性恋男性和女性单纯疱疹病毒 2 型(HSV-2)、人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)和梅毒感染以及女性细菌性阴道病和滴虫病的获得和传播的有益作用。有越来越多的证据表明 VMMC 可预防异性恋男性乙型肝炎和生殖支原体感染以及 MSM 中 HSV-2、HPV 和梅毒的获得。
总结:VMMC 对常见 STIs 的获得和传播的有益作用的证据可用于异性恋男性和女性,但 MSM 仍需要更多证据。本综述支持 VMMC 对 STIs 的有益作用的政策建议。
