What is a non-medical treatment? A treatment that does not provide immediate improvement to existing symptoms?
-
Same with "therapeutic." What exactly do you mean?
-
Nontherapeutic is a synonym of nonmedical. When you say, "NO medical treatment should be performed on an infant", that's implying that all routine circumcisions are performed for medical reasons when they are not. Many are cut "to look like his dad" or "looks like an anteater".

Systematic review does indicate that circumcision does act as a prophylactic.
-
But that research is being debunked and will be completely. Circumcision doesn't protect against HIV or other STDs, penile cancer is less likely than male breast cancer, and UTIs are treated by antibiotics. Circumcision is never a prophylactic.https://www.reuters.com/article/us-aids-circumcision/circumcision-does-not-affect-hiv-in-u-s-men-study-idUSN0345545120071204 …

Allow me to provide you with a systematic review which rejects your position.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5296634/ …

That review is from 2016 whilst the study on American HIV transmission is from this year. It's impossible for Brian Morris' review to "reject my position" when the study to reject didn't exist. Are you seriously going to argue that circumcision prevents HIV in the West?

You're dumber than a lot of the anti-vaxxers I've met. A narrow clinical trial does not supersede a systematic review.
