Description
Auvert, Taljaard, Lagarde, and co-authors report a randomised trial testing whether male circumcision lowers HIV risk. Earlier observational work had hinted at protection, but only a controlled trial could test the claim fairly. The ANRS 1265 trial ran among the general population in South Africa.
More than three thousand uncircumcised young men, aged in their late teens to mid-twenties, took part and were assigned by chance to groups. Comparing infection rates between groups could show whether the procedure itself cut risk. The trial became a landmark input to later HIV prevention policy in high-burden regions.
