The clinical interview of immigrant patients requires cultural competence to ensure good understanding and correct communication, in addition to collecting specific information that differs from that of native patients, such as origin and migratory route or cultural identity. Screening for latent tuberculosis infection is recommended in certain cases and screening for other infections, both cosmopolitan with a higher prevalence in migrants (HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B and C) and imported (Chagas, intestinal parasites, strongyloidiasis, schistosomiasis), depending on origin. It is essential to check the vaccination status and complete the vaccination schedule, adapting it to the current calendar, prioritizing vaccines such as measles, rubella and poliomyelitis.

The historical-medical and anthropological studies, regarding Mesoamerica and South America, have been mainly focused on the great empires (Inca, Atzec, Maya), while other civilizations have been less investigated and only recently are gaining interest. In general, the paleopathological research provides interesting data to know the type of nutrition and the general environmental conditions as well as to point out some ritual mutilation practices, which were relatively frequent in the pre-Columbian cultures. A lot of civilizations flourished in the South America before the arrival of the Spanish Conquistadores in the new world.

Article Synopsis
- Male circumcision (MC) has been assessed as an effective strategy to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV, with substantial evidence supporting its benefits.
- Research indicates that MC can lower HIV infection risk by 50%-60%, and decrease the likelihood of other infections, such as herpes simplex and HPV, although it does not significantly affect syphilis risk.
- The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends MC as a complementary measure in high HIV prevalence areas, alongside safe sex practices and vaccination, to improve overall sexual health outcomes.
