Resumen

PEREZ TAURIAUX, Olivia et al. Male circumcision for reducing risk of infection with human immunodeficiency virus and sexually transmitted infections. MEDISAN [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.9, pp. 5050-5061. ISSN 1029-3019.

The circumcision involves cutting a portion of the penis foreskin that covers the glans to leave it permanently exposed. The most common reasons for circumcision are religious, cultural or medical. Many scientists, as the authors of this article, justify male circumcision for reducing risk of infection with human immunodeficiency virus and sexually transmitted infections. For this purpose a literature survey was conducted to complete the information available in national databases.

Palabras clave : male circumcision; risk of infection; human immunodeficiency virus; sexually transmitted infection..
