Foreskin surface area is not associated with sub-preputial microbiome composition or penile cytokines
OBJECTIVE: Male circumcision (MC) reduces acquisition of HIV-1 in heterosexual men by at least 60%, but the biological mechanism for this protection is incompletely understood. Previous studies have shown that a larger foreskin size, increased abundance of anaerobic bacteria in the sub-preputial spa...
