1. Condoms work. Circumcision doesn't.

    In 2009, Wawer/Gray reported to the WHO that the Ugandan men they circumcised infected their female partners with deadly HIV 50% MORE often than the men they left intact did.  

    Why was this grave threat to female partners of circumcised men not addressed in this latest flurry of research?  We certainly need an answer before we roll out mass circumcision.  

    Most of the US men who have died of AIDS were circumcised at birth.  Mass circumcision failed there.  The US has three times the HIV incidence seen in Europe where circumcision is rare.  

    Anyone depending on circumcision to thwart HIV is making a deadly error.  Anyone coercing men into getting cut is risking the wrath of the men losing the most pleasure-receptive part of the penis.
