A classic 1993 study on HPV came up with the following conclusions: "Uncircumcised men had a lower prevalence of genital warts than circumcised men... The presence of the foreskin may confer non specific protection of the proximal penis from acquisition of HPV infection." | A classic 1993 study on HPV came up with the following conclusions: "Uncircumcised men had a lower prevalence of genital warts than circumcised men...

A meta-analysis performed by Dr. [[Robert Van Howe]] in 2006 found no significant association between circumcision status and HPV infection.

}}</ref> This study tested for HPV at three sites: the scrotum/shaft skin, the glans, and in urine samples. The authors of this study found that in circumcised men, the scrotum/shaft skin contained was most often the site of HPV infection. The authors also note that many large-scale studies fail to test for HPV on scrotum/shaft skin. | }}</ref> This study tested for HPV at three sites: the scrotum/shaft skin, the glans, and in urine samples.
