Neonatal circ doesn't reduce HIV infection rates:

And there's also an amazing editorial titled: Rolling out male circumcision as a mass HIV/AIDS intervention seems neither justified nor practicable

Spread the news and share this with as many people as you can. The HIV/Circ propaganda machine has a lot of power and money and it's important that people understand that this pro-circ lobby has ulterior motives.

Quote:
Owing to the current climate of desperation with regard to the HIV epidemic, evidence in favour of MC frequently seems overstated. This reduces the scope for informed consent and autonomy for adult men considering the procedure. Further problems arise in the case of neonates whose parents may be considering the procedure. Whereas informed consent is at least possible for adult men, it is clearly not possible for neonates. |

Despite a strong pro-circumcision lobby driven by enthusiasts who have been promoting MC as an (HIV) intervention for many years, and impatience expressed by protagonists about the long delay after the 2006 - 2007 RCT results and the UNAIDS/WHO policy recommendations8 of March 2007, few mass campaigns have been launched in African countries |
