Circumcision Can Prevent HIV

[badula]

In December 2006, the National Institutes of Health halted two clinical trials of male circumcision after an early review of the data showed that the procedure dramatically reduced transmission of HIV. Early this year, the details of those studies were published in the Lancet: In the two randomized trials, which included 7,780 HIV-negative men in Rakai, Uganda, and Kisumu, Kenya, researchers found that medically circumcised men were at least 51% less likely than uncircumcised men to acquire HIV during sex with women. The editors of the Lancet called the discovery "a new era for HIV prevention." Scientists don't know yet whether male circumcision can also provide protection for female partners — a new study on the hypothesis is forthcoming next year.

This thread should be removed completely!

Religious freedom only has so much rights...

And if you want to know WHY i find this OFFENSIVE and CRUEL to post messages PROMOTING circumcision... WATCH this:

The critically acclaimed documentary on male circumcision by Chicago filmmaker Eli Ungar-Sargon. For the unabridged version, please buy the DVD at:

www.CutTheFilm.com

And you know what? It's WOMEN that promote a halt to this BARBARIC practice. For it's (almost) JUST as barbaric as clitoral circumcision. And women appreciate and understand abuse more than men do. I guess :s

Don't believe me? Learn the facts, and watch the youtube video.

Then, please remove the original post. It's the same as promoting abuse and mutilation.

Thank you in advance.

And specifically why HIV cannot be prevented with circumsision: http://www.doctorsopposingcircumcisi...Statement.html

"Effectiveness. Circumcision does not prevent HIV infection. The Auvert study in South Africa reported 20 infections in circumcised males.11 A study in Kenya reported 22 infections in circumcised males. Brewer & found higher rates of HIV infection in circumcised virgins and adolescents.24 The United States has the highest rate of HIV infection and the highest rate of male circumcision in the industrialized world. Male circumcision, therefore, cannot reasonably be thought to prevent HIV infection."

Concerning the quality of sex (also see Youtube video!) - it takes ALL fun out of sex for men AND women. A circumsised penis works like a plug: draining all fluids from where they are supposed to be. That's why Israeli's and Americans have to buy so much gels...

"Believe it or not, circumcision was introduced in English-speaking countries in the late 1800s to control or prevent masturbation, similar to the way that female circumcision was promoted and continues to be advocated in some Muslim and African countries to control women's sexuality. As the absurdity of this position became apparent, new justifications, such as the prevention of cervical and penile cancers, received the blessing of the medical establishment. But these are justifications that science has been unable to support. Nor is there any scientific proof that circumcision prevents sexually transmitted diseases."

The basis of the subject goes further back than posted so far.
I will let the writings of Martin Luther sort this out.
