IT is a procedure that involves removing just a tiny flap of skin. But its benefits, as scientific studies have shown, are significant in reducing the possibility of a man becoming infected with HIV. The skin in question is the delicate foreskin that surrounds the head of the male organ. And the procedure undertaken to remove it is male circumcision (MC) -- a practice that has been carried out by ...

Circumcision is a dangerous distraction in the fight against AIDS. There are six African countries where men are more likely to be HIV+ if they've been circumcised: Cameroon, Ghana, Lesotho, Malawi, Rwanda, and Swaziland. Eg in Malawi, the HIV rate is 13.2% among circumcised men, but only 9.5% among intact men. In Rwanda, the HIV rate is 3.5% among circumcised men, but only 2.1% among intact men. If circumcision really worked against AIDS, this just wouldn't happen. We now have people calling circumcision a "vaccine" or "invisible condom", and viewing circumcision as an alternative to condoms.
The one study into male-to-female transmission showed a 50% higher rate in the group where the men had been circumcised btw.
ABC (Abstinence, Being faithful, Condoms) is the way forward. Promoting genital surgery will cost African lives, not save them.

Those doctors who perform these circumcisions deserve to be shot.
The foreskin is not just a flap of skin and does not just protect the glans(head). The real news is that circumcision is now known to ablate the most sensitive parts of the male genitals. This surgery takes away the main male pleasure zones with over 20000 fine touch and stretch nerve endings amputated. The foreskin has several parts including the ridgid band that is great for ones pleasure (that is why nutters like Kellogg wanted to chop em off, to curtail masturbastion), and the ridged band directly contacts the vagina for very great pleasure all around.
Don't buy into this benefits propaganda. They are not telling you all opf the harm that is done. This surgery removes sexual function, takes away masturbation function and pleasure and will result in ED at a younger age. Don't throw away all of those nerve endings and that erogenous tissue, when you are an old man, you may want them. You will probably miss them as soon as they are gone.
