Interesting study on circumcision

Two studies in Africa show a marked difference in the rate of HIV/AIDS among circumcised men versus uncircumcised men. Circumcision has little place in a modern, hygienic society, like ours; but it may be quite helpful in Africa. Fifty percent? Sheesh.

And if my name were Dr. De Cock, I'd change my name the moment I entered the HIV/AIDS field.

I wonder also if there is any link between those culturally who circumcise or not, and hygeine and attitudes/knowledge toward safe sex.

OK, so it looks like based upon how they did the study, what I said above doesn't matter.
