...because it is not a disease not to be circumcised....

Personally, I think that it has less to do with HIV prevention because even if you are circumcised, and you are having intercourse, you can still get HIV if your partner is infected.

...some of them are totally misled because they think that once one is circumcised, they don’t get HIV at all, so they engage carelessly with anyone...

You could be used to a different experience during sex when you are not circumcised, and then when you get circumcised, you get a totally different and bad experience, and it makes you wonder why you got circumcised

I got cured, but the pain I went through, I regretted

I have seen many Muslims who were circumcised when they were still young, but they are [HIV] positive”

Compared with genitally intact males, rates among circumcised males were not statistically significantly reduced for any specific STI. Indeed, circumcised males had a 53% higher rate of STIs overall (HR = 1.53, 95% CI: 1.24–1.89), and rates were statistically significantly increased for anogenital warts (74 cases in circumcised males v. 7151 cases in intact males, HR = 1.51; 95% CI: 1.20–1.90) and syphilis (four cases in circumcised males v. 197 cases in intact males, HR = 3.32; 95% CI: 1.23–8.95). In this national cohort study spanning more than three decades of observation, non-therapeutic circumcision in infancy or childhood did not appear to provide protection against HIV or other STIs in males up to the age of 36 years. Rather, non-therapeutic circumcision was associated with higher STI rates overall, particularly for anogenital warts and syphilis.

We studied 569,950 males, including 203,588 who underwent circumcision and 366,362 who did not. The vast majority of circumcisions (83%) were performed prior to age 1 year. In the primary analysis, we found no significant difference in the risk of HIV between groups (adjusted hazard ratio 0.98, 95% confidence interval 0.72 to 1.35). In none of the sensitivity analyses did we find an association between circumcision and risk of HIV.
