Another piece of news from the NYT (New York Times) Health section."Circumcision’s Anti-AIDS Effect Found Greater Than First Thought.""Final data from two clinical trials in Africa suggest that circumcision reduces a man’s risk of contracting H.I.V. by as much as 65 percent — more than suspected when the two trials were stopped because the results were so clear."Clearly the study is male/female sexual relations only but never the less intriguing.Not to mention the interesting and possible implications even for homosexuals.Between 2 top only homosexuals the one circumcised would've less 65% chance of getting infected?And why? Where is the difference? How come a little more skin "protecting" the head of the penis can have that difference?Should a top only gay or all uncircumcised heterosexual males, for that matter, run to a clinic to be circumcised just to insure a better percentage of safety?Can that study be universal or one of those African mysteries?Perhaps having that study done on a more global population would be interesting, before all mothers, around the world, bring theirs babies to clinics to be circumcised.As many other countries, I come from one that doesn't have ethnic, religious or cultural reasons or traditions of circumcision.So i'm curious to know if this study, if confirmed, would set a new trend all over the world.Anyway....intriguing study.
