Bertran Auvert of the French National Research Agency INSERM and colleagues tested more than 3,000 uninfected men aged 18-24 South Africa's Guateng province, where 32 percent of adults are infected.
Some of the men were circumcised at the start of the trial while others had the procedure after 21 months. At the end of the trial, researchers registered 69 HIV cases, and only 18 of them were in the men who were circumcised at the start.
it's an interesting argument, but i've also read other studies saying that being uncircumsized does not impact cleanliness regarding infection since soap and such has come so far since say, the middle ages. i'm torn. no pun intended.
The circumcised men were 65 percent less likely to become infected with the deadly and incurable virus. Thats a hell of alot more than a "may." -- thats cutting your chances in half. If you are gay, or at risk for AIDS you are insane not to be uncircumcised!
By the way, I posted this same story a few weeks ago.
They actually cut this thing short because the results were so drastic.
I agree with this:
"It is a very sensitive issue, and not just biologically," said UNAIDS chief scientific adviser Catherine Hankins, adding that circumcision should only be used as part of a package of preventive measures such as the use of condoms and behavioral changes to limit the number of sexual partners.
People, including plenty in this industry, just don't take the issue very seriously, and thats exactly why infection rates explode.
let's wait for all the 'circumcision is a primitive ritual for religious freaks' replies
Circumcision is a primitive ritual for religious freaks.... :P
seriously though...
I've been with my GF for a while and to be honest...i'm not worried about HIV...
Sure this discovery could be an important one to help out the AIDS crisis in Africa, but I don't see how it can be useful to me...
According to the article it's effective in like 60% of the cases....NewsFlash: Condom is 99.999% effective...
but obviously if it helps lower the growing number of aids cases in africa then great!..
mmm my sig was too big... no more cool animation but hey still! need php?ICQ: 94586959
Hygiene seems to be the most powerful argument of peoples who are cut...
I've even read some people saying: "I'm cut, so at least my penis doesn't smell bad"
What the fuck does that mean? I wash everyday and I smell good...everywhere... Does it mean that, if I were cut I could go longer without washing my dick and it wouldnt smell?? How fucked up is that...I'm not interested LOL

i guess it's true if you are in a country where a good % of men are cut...
up here in canada i'd say 90% of my friends are uncut, and those who were circumcised, were for medical reasons...
my GF never even saw a cicumcised dick...
and quite frankly...when your dick is hard, you can barely see a difference...(and if you aint hard when it's time for action well you have a bigger problem on your hands than your foreskin LOL)...
I'm really not that much FOR or Against circumcision...I just think it's not that big of a deal honestly...(and I also find the hygiene argument to be quite ridiculous....if you don't wash your tool everyday, you suck plain and simple)

exactly, why on earth would i remove my foreskin and get less feeling on my cock?
it makes no fucking sense at all, only people with a fucked up religion or stupid enough to follow their parents' footsteps would do the same to their child.
i dont need to "make my dick look bigger", is it true that jewish men really do have small penises' and this is why they get it done?
The Pros and Cons
On the plus side, studies indicate that circumcised infants are less likely to contract a urinary tract infection (UTI) in the first year of life. About one out of every 1,000 circumcised boys has a UTI in the first year, whereas the rate is one in 100 (at most) for uncircumcised infants.
Circumcised men may also be at lower risk for penile cancer, although the disease is rare in both circumcised and uncircumcised males. Although some studies indicate that the procedure might offer an additional line of defense against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), particularly HIV, the results of studies in this area are conflicting and difficult to interpret.
It's also easier to keep a circumcised penis clean, although uncircumcised boys can learn how to clean beneath the foreskin once the foreskin becomes retractable (usually some time before age 5). However, some uncircumcised boys can end up with infected foreskins as the result of poor hygiene.
Some people also claim that circumcision either lessens or heightens the sensitivity of the tip of the penis, decreasing or increasing sexual pleasure later in life. But neither of these subjective findings has been proven to be true.
Although circumcision appears to have some medical benefits, it also carries potential risks - as does any surgical procedure. These risks are small, but you should be aware of both the possible advantages and the problems that can be associated with the procedure before you make your decision. Complications of newborn circumcision are uncommon, occurring in between 0.2% to 3% of cases. Of these, the most frequent are minor bleeding and local infection, both of which can be easily treated by your child's doctor.
"WTF, on google you can find the answer to every question in human history, EXCEPT how to convert cams..
"Several studies have suggested that men who are circumcised have a lower rate of
HIV infection. This has been especially noticeable in some parts of Africa, where some groups are routinely circumcised while neighboring groups are not."
Wouldn't this over time lead to massive circumcisions in some groups? Consequently, wouldn't this lead to some major case of discrimination? I can just imagine the consequences of a study like this being circumcisions made not based on medical evidence but on racial/geographical profiling just because someone happens to be from a "high risk" area.
