Male circumcision helps prevent HIV, other STDs

LOS ANGELES — Circumcision not only protects against HIV in heterosexual men, but it also helps prevent two other sexually transmitted infections, a large new study found.

Circumcised males reduced their risk of infection with HPV, or human papillomavirus, by 35% and herpes by 28%. However, researchers found circumcision had no effect on the transmission of syphilis.

Landmark studies from three African countries including Uganda previously found circumcision lowered men’s chance of catching the AIDS virus by up to 60%. The new study stems from the Uganda research and looked at protection against three other STDs. The findings were reported in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine

‘‘Evidence now strongly suggests that circumcision offers an important prevention opportunity and should be widely available,’’ Drs. Matthew Golden and Judith Wasserheit of the University of Washington wrote in an accompanying editorial.

Worldwide, only about 30% of men are circumcised. The figure is higher in the United States, where about 79% of men are circumcised, according to surveys by the National Center for Health Statistics.

**Mafoo** · 05-26-2009, 09:59 AM

35% less hpv, 28% less herpes...

probably has to do with losing about 30% extra surface area for the diseases to infect

Wahoooooooo

This study makes no sense.

If you fuck a girl with herpes, it doesn't matter whether you have a flap on your cock or not, you stand a mighty good chance of getting herpes. If you fuck a girl with teh aids, ur pool is about to be closed whether your snipped or not.

Some journalists will write anything to make a deadline.

All muslims get the cut. Even the girls.

Cerpin Taxt · 05-26-2009, 10:55 AM

My parents nor I have a particular religion... yet I'm cut??

And yeah... I'd be pretty indifferent about 'mutilating' myself or not if I had the choice... maybe if the upper lip on my mouth was getting lopped off, I'd think differently!

cantSEEme · 05-26-2009, 10:58 AM

^ same here, cept im not. i think in america, its more of a parents personal preference than a religious one.

Geeno · 05-26-2009, 10:59 AM

I'm planning on selling my foreskin to a cannibal.

I swear when my parents were asked if they wanted me circumsized they just said "take a little off the top" cause I've got some foreskin but not a whole hood.

I don't think Canada is much different... I think as of 2005, the rates of circumcision are down to about 9%.
