reduces the risk of female-to-male transmission of the virus by 60 percent."
Well that has not been observed in populations in the industrialized world. In other words, this risk reduction has really only been observed by circumcision pushers that did the study. the observed reduction was ALWAYS less than 60% and of course the actual risk change was in the range of about 1.4% risk change -- again not observed in large population studies. So it is outrageous to say that this is in any way useful for the industrialized world.

The same researchers stopped the male to female circumcision study because it showed circumcised men pass HIV to women at a higher rate than natural men. So this article is misleading and propaganda on many levels. This is similar and no more useful than the studies that show female circumcision lowers the risk of male-to-female transmission of the virus by about 60 percent.

Circumcision is nerve damage cutting off about 20000 fine touch and stretch sensing nerve endings and removing a source of pleasure from the male FOR LIFE. This is 2/3 of the total pleasure source amputated! This is nerves, blood vessels, protective covering and pleasure zones taken away from a human before the human can experience this. The dynamics and function and pleasure from sex and masturbation of the penis is harmed for good. This is a horrible thing for any medical professional to push.
Push condom use. A condom is not great, but it feels so much better when you have all of your natural penis.
