Male Circumcision decreases the risk of HIV transmission to women (and maybe other men) by 50%! Studies halted because the evidence was CLEAR.

Take that you Swedish heathen!

Heh...but the doctor's name...what a gas. Anyway...it's true. Forget that ridiculous idea that it will hurt your baby.

On 12 December 2006, an expert committee called a halt to two large studies of male circumcision and HIV. There was already such clear evidence that circumcision reduces the risk of HIV infection, that to continue the trials would be unethical. This news caused great excitement among some HIV experts. According to Dr. Kevin De Cock, director of the HIV/AIDS Department of the World Health Organisation: “If decisions are made to scale [circumcision] up by different countries, it does have the potential to prevent many tens of thousands, many hundreds of thousands, and perhaps millions of infections over the coming years.”
