Reduced recently: In the United States, recent rates have declined to about 55%, varying from 25% in west to 67% in midwest. Reduction in rate may be related to insurance companies not paying for procedure.

Varies some: I see rates of 80-85% in my insured practice. It is lower among latinos and asians while higher among those of european ancestry.

State of confusion!: The american academy of pediatrics has varied its position and although previous statements have encouraged reconsideration of this practice, recent studies have shown marked decreases in aids transmission in circumcised males supporting a renewed interest in advocating circumcision.
