Circumcision Doesn't Lessen HIV Transmission - ABC News (2009)

Epic fail on your title. If you read the article, circumcision does reduce transmission to men. It does not reduce the transmission rate from men to women. No duh.

It doesn't lessen transmission TO WOMEN.

Did anybody ever argue it did? Circumcision in no way reduces the amount of bodily fluids exchanged. It removes the areas receptive to HIV, in men, not so surprisingly. Male circumcision, anyway.

Condom use after male circumcision is essential for HIV prevention

I mean how long is HIV around? 30 years? Don't we know this already?

Ummmm, misleading title. I think most people were under the impression and of the idea that, circumcision lowers risk of circumcised men contracting HIV.

As usual, this topic seems to bring out some of the crazies who are more interested in screaming about their emotional commitments on the topic than they are about getting the facts right.

First, the title of the article is pretty much a straight out lie, (it doesn't even agree with the information in the body of the article).

Second, the best summation of the overall information available on this topic can be found here:

I wonder if half of the world had their left eye gouged out at childbirth as either a holdover of blood sacrifice rituals or because of various anti-observational propaganda, if we'd have to put up with endless articles stoking the flames of debate between whether or not gouging has merits. You know if you don't have a left eye your risk of conjectivitis decreases by 50%!

FUCK YOU and call it what it is: circumcision is a bizarre genital mutilation procedure we inflict on our children because it helps us and them fit into our sick, twisted society. If we were really civilized instead of just imitating our retard neighbors, we'd stop doing it.

This is a feminist chick logic post that completely ignores the point made by aMontrealer.

So many fags trying to justify their sock puppet penises without being able to coherently speak about what guys are missing by getting circumsized.
