This statement examines those claims and puts them in proper perspective.

HIV INCREASES IN AFRICA.

HIV Increases in Africa Where Most Men Circumcised.


This is not a big shocking surprise to anyone who knows about the immunological and protective functions and purposes of the prepuce foreskin) or the hard, cold facts that when you circumcise men, you increase rates of all STDs (including HIV).
Countries where 99% of men are intact have the lowest rates of HIV.

The United States, with the highest number of circumcised adult men, has
the highest rate of HIV among developed nations.

Condoms prevent the spread of HIV, not circumcision.

This is not a difficult equation to figure out.

But apparently we must wait for the 'experts' amputating foreskins in Africa to tell us this.

ACTIVISTS CALL ON THE UNITED NATIONS TO CLASSIFY MALE CIRCUMCISION AS A HUMAN RIGHTS CRIME.

 

 

Intactivist groups say African Circumcision-HIV studies show

how little men’s rights are valued.

San Diego, CA - July 27, 2005 --

 

In response to results of a male circumcision HIV study presented yesterday at the Third International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Pathogenesis and Treatment in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, several intactivist groups called on the United Nations to classify circumcision of male children as a human rights crime.

The study, performed on more than 3,000 African men, concluded that circumcision reduced the chance of HIV infection by 65% over an 18 month period.
