Circumcision has not prevented AIDS in America. But it's going to be different in Africa?
Here is some inaccurate information:
"The cells in the foreskin of a penis are especially vulnerable to HIV"
Uh, no they aren't...
http://www.cirp.org/news/healthday2007-03-05/
Also:
"The research reinforces studies showing that regions with high circumcision rates generally have lower rates of HIV."
Why don't they show the Brewer Study, published in March 2007, where it was concluded that circumcision in Kenya, Lesotho, and Tanzania actually INCREASES the transmission of AIDS?
That's right; because it would be devastating to the circumcision cause.
What a waste of (OUR) money. What a waste of surgery. What a waste of healthy tissue. What a waste, period.
And I bet that this will somehow translate into circumcising babies again.
This comic shows exactly how circumcision prevents HIV.
