I was just thinking about this.

"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.
