# [[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. There now is credible evidence that the [[Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision|massive, expensive African circumcision programs]] have ''not'' been effective in preventing [[HIV]] infection.
