Study published in The Journal of Pediatrics, Volume 152, Issue 3, Pages 383-387 (March 2008). The study's objective was to determine the impact of early childhood circumcision on sexually transmitted infection (STI) acquisition to age 32 years.  "Overall, up to age 32 years, the incidence rates for all STIs were not statistically significantly different . . . for the uncircumcised and circumcised men, respectively.

In the dysfunctional group, circumcised men were significantly younger than the intact men (7 year mean difference). The sample size was small, and when attempting to control for age, hypertension, and diabetes, all t-test significance was lost.
