[Male circumcision and HIV infection: an international debate with no Brazilian participation].

Euclides Ayres de Castilho1, Mark Drew Crosland Guimarães.   

Abstract

The authors discuss male circumcision as a protective factor against HIV transmission. The absence is noted of Brazilian data published in the international literature regarding this issue. Finally, it is emphasized that self-declared circumcision status is subject to substantial misclassification with the generation of biased risk estimates.
