			September 2021 saw the publication of two huge population studies on the relationship of [[circumcision]] and HIV infection:

			# Mayan et al. (2021) carried out a massive empirical study of the male population of the province of Ontario, [[Canada]] (569,950 males), of whom 203,588 (35.7%) were [[circumcised]] between 1991 and 2017. The study concluded that circumcision status is not related to risk of HIV infection.<ref name="mayan2021">{{REFjournal

			# [[Morten Frisch]] & Jacob Simonsen (2021) carried out a large scale empirical population study in [[Denmark]] of 855,654 males regarding the alleged value of male circumcision in preventing HIV and other sexually transmitted infections in men. They found that [[circumcised]] men have a higher rate of STI and HIV infection overall than [[intact]] men.<ref name="frisch2021">{{FrischM SimonsenJ 2021}}</ref>

			No association between lack of circumcision and risk of HIV infection was found by either study.

	Professor Weiss first worked on male circumcision research in 1999, leading the systematic review that first provided clear evidence that male circumcision was associated with a lower risk of HIV infection among heterosexual men in sub-Saharan Africa. She also led subsequent systematic reviews on different aspects of male circumcision including on safety of neonatal circumcision, and the effect of male circumcision on infections among women.
