4.5% of Slovenian male citizens reported being circumcised. Major variations in the prevalence of circumcision was observed across religious groups, with 92.4% being circumcised among Muslims, 1.7% among Roman Catholics, and 7.1% among those with no religious affiliation (p<0.001). Prevalence of circumcision among Slovenian men is low. In Slovenia where HIV prevalence is <1/1000 citizens and HIV infection is concentrated in men who have sex with men, promoting male circumcision in the general population may not be effective for HIV prevention purposes.
