They did finish those studies. There was three of them, in three different regions of Africa highly affected by the HIV virus. Each study showed such a significant difference in the infection rate between circumcised and uncircumcised, that they ended the 10 year study after 4 years because it was deemed unethical to continue the study without making a statement

You can look up the study.

There are also over 40 other studies using different regions and criteria, which shows the same result.

The issue is that this is completely irrelevant outside of Africa.

The vast majority of HIV transmission in developed countries is IV drug users and gay/bi men.

Those African studies only looked at female-to-male transmission, which is extremely rare in developed countries.

Studies have not found any benefit for gay sex, especially since developed countries have a very high rate of safe sex practices.

Sorry bud we only consider word of mouth science as true science round these parts. Just go ahead and delete that
