Circumcision appears not only to reduce a man's risk of contracting HIV by half, according to two trials conducted in Africa; the female partners of circumcised men were also 30 percent less likely to become infected with HIV. Circumcision also significantly reduced the rate at which men infected women with human papillomavirus (the virus that can cause cervical cancer). However, being circumcised is not a guarantee that a man will not get or pass along HIV; prevention tools, such as condoms, must be used. Also, the trials only studied heterosexual sex in Africa, and circumcision's effects on the risks of oral and anal sex are not known.

NEXT DICK!!!

I always feel bad when I see a boy being circumcised. There are docs who say the baby doesn't feel that pain. My ***. If they didn't they would not be crying so loud.

^ I can't recall any pain :p

:6:No kidding!

Thanks Sameerb1, The Body is one of the best if not the best site about HIV/AIDS

Marianna, the child is under local anaesthesia & after that given Paracetamol regularly, not a big deal

No pain no gain

then how come some refuse to do it for their children??

Circumcision reduces HIV/AIDs by 50-60%, condoms reduce by 80% which is why many people argue that theres no point in circumcising and using a condom is more effective.

WELL .... theres a main reason why many people get circumcised !!! For the muslims i understand that they get circumcised because it is a ritual of CLEANSINESS...

I don't recall my circumcision as it was done when I was a baby, but I do recall the circumcision of my older brother and a young uncle, both of whom got their done when they are around 10-14!

I don't know if they felt the pain, but I am sure the idea of a man with knives and scissors, looking to cut a part of your merchandise would bring tears to the eyes of the bravest :p
