The most significant study findings relevant to reducing risk of HIV infections among Luo men were published in the authoritative "Journal of AIDS" in September of 2006.

The most distinguished expert on sexually transmitted infections including HIV among its authors is Professor King K. Holmes, M.D., Ph.D., of the University of Washington in the U.S.A.

This study of protective practices including circumcision and post-sex washing drew its study sample from Kibera, a slum heavily populated by Luo men in Nairobi.

It found that the post-sex washing traditionally practiced by these uncircumcised men helped prevent them from getting HIV infections.
