From a global perspective, specifically in developing countries, this may be an effective tool to prevent male aquisition of the HIV virus. However, there is little in the way of safe sex education available in these parts, and I'm sure even less inclination to practice it. Let's face it, in a society with such a wealth of information and education available, you should not be having unprotected sex outside of a relationship, and if you do and you develop HIV as a result - you had it coming sunshine.
A report filed this year by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC marks circumcision as "non-therapeutic and medically unnecessary intervention.". I agree, circumcision of a healthy infant is tantamount to mutilation. If this is your religious practice, then so be it.
The guide for physicians continues, "Current consensus of medical opinion, including that of the Canadian and American Paediatric Societies and the American Urological Society, is that there is insufficient evidence that these benefits outweigh the potential risks. That is, routine infant male circumcision, i.e. routine removal of normal tissue in a healthy infant, is not recommended."
You can read the article here: https://www.cpsbc.ca/cps/physician_...nual/malecircum
To paraphrase this report further "our understanding of medical practice must change as research findings become available", and what may be an appropriate tool to combat the spread of HIV/AIDS in the developing world with a serious problem concerning these infections, may not apply to a society such as ours.
Wrong? That's a bold statement to make without exploring all of the research available.
Now who else wants a piece of me?
