New Zealand scientists`
research is not the first work, dedicated to wholesome after-effects of circumcision.
However, while most authors in general agree with the fact that circumcision
reduces risk of communication of HIV and syphilis, data
about this procedure`s influence on risk of other sexually-transmitted infections are still considered
ambiguous in general.

Academy of Pediatrics came to a conclusion, that nowadays evidences of circumcision`
wholesome effect are not so obvious to recommend this procedure for all newborn
boys without fail. New Zealand
Society of Podiatrists made same
statement in 2004.
researchers were approved by American experts.
Nowadays there`re several influential
organizations, opponents of circumcision, in USA. According to
words of a representative of one of such groups, data about use of circumcision
won`t affect his associates` opinion at all, as removal of normally developed
tissues on so sensitive region is an outrage of baby`s rights.
