This looks new to me.

Woah, very interesting, given that one of the authors is the circumcision proponent Robert Bailey! IIRC that's the same location as one of the big HIV/circ studies -- looks like this is a follow-up on the cohort.

Would love to know what they found on HIV infection rates.

Actually Quirky, this was not a separate trial it seems they mined the data gathered during the original trial.

ETA: Which is what you said. Boy I have to read things more closely.
