Three large randomized trials followed. They were carried out in
South Africa, Kenya and Uganda
Although the studies were controlled for many variables,
including sexual partners, frequency of coitus, and condom use, only
the South African study explicitly stated that all the participants were
counseled regarding condom usage. This may have been implicit in the
other two studies, but it is not definitively stated. The control groups
did not use the condoms they were provided regularly and efficiently
otherwise the differences between those who were circumcised and
those who were not, would not have become apparent so quickly.
This is a comment that is not expressed very often. Despite counseling
and increased knowledge, the use of condoms remains sporadic.
..otherwise the differences between those who were circumcised and
those who were not, would not have become apparent so quickly.
Or they would not have become apparent at all?
