A member asked:

Is there a connection between cervical cancer and having sexual intercourse with circumcised man?

Not specificly: The present thinking on cervical cancer involves acquiring a virus during vaginal sex that may spend decades in your body before it begins to change your cervix & lead to cancer.Many strains of the virus exist & a man, circumcised or not, may carry it for decades without knowing it. So any carrier man can pass it to you. A vaccine to prevent 4 strains is available but only helps before you get it.

Reduces risk: Partners of circumcised men, especially in countries where male hygiene is less than optimal, have a lower risk of developing cancer of the cervix. Original landmark study was performed in fiji.
