The Australian Federation of AIDS Organizations (AFAO) became the first medical society to recommend against male circumcision in their report:
“Male Circumcision has No Role in the Australian HIV Epidemic” issued July, 2007.
The report made three, key points: there is no demonstrated benefit of circumcision in men who have sex with men; correct and consistent condom use, not circumcision, is the most effective means of reducing female-to-male transmission, and vice-versa; and African data on circumcision is context-specific and cannot be extrapolated to the Australian epidemic in any way.
