TL;DR
The results support a lack of association between circumcision status and HSV-2 acquisition, although a small effect cannot be ruled out.

The currently espoused hypothesis is that Herpesvirus hominis type 2 may be an initiating or promoting carcinogenic agent which can be transmitted during coitus by the malc donor to the female host at risk.

The National Health and Social Life Survey evidence indicates a slight benefit of circumcision but a negligible association with most outcomes, which supports the view that physicians and parents be informed of the potential benefits and risks before circumcising newborns.

In a prospective study of 2298 HIV-uninfected men attending sexually transmitted infection clinics in India, it was noted that circumcision was strongly protective against HIV-1 infection, however, there was no protective effect against herpes simplex virus type 2, syphilis, or gonorrhoea.

Black race, older age, cigarette smoking, douching, a greater number of lifetime sex partners, a history of intercourse with an uncircumcised partner, the presence of vaginal group B Streptococcus, and abnormal vaginal flora were among the independent predictors of HSV-2 infection.

Estimates of the relative risk suggest that uncircumcised men are twice as likely as circumcised men to develop herpes genitalis or gonorrhoea, and five times as likely to develop candidiasis or syphilis, but the data for syphilis should be interpreted with caution because of the small number of cases.

Circumcision of men has no significant effect on the incidence of common STDs in this developed nation setting, however, these findings may not necessarily extend to other setting where hygiene is poorer and the spectrum of commonSTDs is different.

It is concluded that there is a positive relationship between absence of circumicision and genital HSV infection, but that a prospective study should be undertaken to confirm these results.

HSV-2 seroprevalence has risen sharply in this sexually active cohort of 26 year old New Zealanders, despite a reduction in the overall level of partner change, which may be due to a higher prevalence of infection in the pool of potential partners encountered during the third decade of life.
