Circumcision doesn't help protect gay men from AIDS, according to the largest U.S. study to look at the question.

I would think not having unprotected sex with HIV positive men will do it though...

But it does protect straight men?

Who cares if it's effective?

If female circumcision prevented AIDS, would we do it to all female children?

Who presented the findings. N Shit Sherlock?

I usually see stuff about circumcision to be trolling. It's one person trying to make another person feel bad and get a rise out of them. It almost always works. If you have kids, do what you will, but if you're trying to make the cut guys feel bad about something they can't change, then that's pretty fucking low.

If a man is squirting aids-juice into your anus, what good does it for you to be circumcised?

This is a no-brainer.

But it does help prevent transmition to strait men.

Aside from the findings of that study the conditions remind me of something Mengele could have done:

We are in Africa. The "Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation" helped fund the study. The goal was to show that circumcision of men would prevent HIV-infection of women. So they took couples where women were not infected and men were infected. Circumcised the men (yes, they were not circumcised before) and did not declare that men should wait until the wounds have healed. Then they gave the "Go!"-signal.

one out of eight women with an uncircumcised man was infected
one out of five women with a circumcised man was infected
"We are disappointed that the study did not show that women are not protected from an HIV-Infection" it says at the end of the paper.

Come again? They consciously infected at least 26 women with a deadly infection (in a country - Uganda - no less where medical attention is sparse) and then are disappointed that their theory wasn't supported? And then in the west the findings are presented in a way to support an archaic ritual which has no base in science...

Mengele couldn't have been prouder.
