NIH: circumcision halves AIDS risk

[Fat Tone]

This has been known about for a while. Neighbouring African tribes, one that ritually circumsizes and one that doesn't, show enormous differences in infection rates. Its not new.

Why on earth are people arguing? Its a fact that it cuts infection rates. Period.

I never missed mine either.

That shows that it is a correlation, not a fact. I do not doubt it helps - but 50%? that I doubt, and not because of the medical theory, but because the data is not sufficient enough to satisfy me when there are so many (and possibly unmeasurable) factors.

Call it a large/substantial body of evidence then.

I agree, especially since we're talking African men
You can start calling me a racist now

And this study was sponsored by who?????????


.

Apparently, by women who prefer men who aren't over-sensitive and thus don't suffer from premature ejaculation ?

I like it a lot!


I came close to a touchy subject without even realizing it, but the reason I asked was not because of something like this:

the jooooooossssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

But because knowing the African definition of beauty, I was wondering if this was a safer alternative to something (relatively speaking), like this:



and since:

The recent studies were were done in Kenya and Uganda and paid for by the US National Institute of Health (NIH), meaning US taxpayers. You're welcome

who knows what they do with it down there.... .

And our plastic surgery/botox junkies aren't as bad?

Speak for yourself!! Faye Dunaway gives me the creeps

Regardless, I’m not going to have a circumcision and that’s final!

I was pointing out a systematic error, in every case there would be a common trend, which makes the whole sample flawed.

They need to do more lab studies. And take a random sample of people and try to give them HIV!

well... if "Dr. Kevin De Cock of the World Health Organization" sais so.. then it must be so

[Dr Mordrid]

I've been waiting for someone to notice that guys name

He's actually the WHO's HIV/AIDS director;

With his CV and reputation if he says something about HIV/AIDS, I'd listen.
