W.H.O. Urges Circumcision To Reduce Spread Of Aids

[Lungker]

Attached are two articles from The New York Times about a WHO (World Health Organisation) 's recommendation of circumcision to prevent the spread of AIDS.

Apparently in three clinical trials in Kenya, Uganda and South Africa, overseen by the national health agencies of the United States and France, found that male circumcision reduced the risk of infection of men through heterosexual sex by about 60 percent. (quoted from NYT)

New York City’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is planning a campaign to encourage men at high risk of AIDS to get circumcised in light of the World Health Organization’s endorsement of the procedure as an effective way to prevent the disease. (quoted from NYT)

Bottom line is, apparently if you are circumcised, and you are a top, the chances of you getting infected by the AIDS virus is 60% less than if you are not circumcised.

If you are a bottom, the recommendation of circumcision do not apply to you.

In any case, please always have protected sex. :thumb:

In some parts of the world especially in Middle-East, North-Africa, South-Asia and South-East Asia Countries where pre-dominant Muslim, all men had been circumsized, means Aids could be lesser?
