U.N. TO MEN: GET CIRCUMCISED

AS I'VE POSTED IN THE PAST, SCIENTISTS HAVE CONFIRMED THAT CIRCUMCISION DRASTICALLY REDUCES THE TRANSMISSION RATE OF HIV. FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, THE U.N. IS TELLING PEOPLE TO IMITATE THE JEWS (AND GET CIRCUMCISED). NOW IF THE U.N. COULD ONLY SHOW A LITTLE LOVE TO THE NATION WITH THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF CIRCUMCISED MALES.

Message to men: Get circumcised - Reduces chance of getting HIV up to 60% (Chicago Sun Times)
Heterosexual men should be circumcised because of compelling evidence it reduces their chances of contracting HIV up to 60 percent, U.N. agencies said Wednesday. But men should still use condoms and other protection against the virus, said the World Health Organization and UNAIDS, the U.N. agency that coordinates the fight against the AIDS virus. ''We must be clear,'' said Catherine Hankins of UNAIDS. ''Male circumcision does not provide complete protection against HIV.''.... Studies suggest male circumcision could prevent 5.7 million new cases of HIV infection over 20 years in sub-Saharan Africa.
