Another study presented at the conference suggested that regular sex partners of circumcised men enjoy sex more and improved sexual health. The single arm clinical trial reported in the Dominican Republic showed high acceptability of VMMC in sex partners of circumcised men. “Women who reported vaginal and urinary symptoms prior to their partner’s circumcision reported a substantial decrease in the symptoms after circumcision,” said the report. A majority of women were satisfied with their circumcised partner’s hygiene and a majority, 70 per cent, felt more protected against HIV and STIs.
