Circumcision greatly protects against AIDS-HIV?

Now that health authorities have confirmed after several research studies that circumcision indeed protects against AIDS-HIV infection and lowers the riks of contraction up to 70%, what do you think will be the future of those groups and lobbies that irrationally and fanatically oppose the procedure without any realistic or logical reason?

Please READ the question. I'm not asking if it protects or not. I already know IT DOES. I'm asking what you think will happen with those groups I mention.

Circumcision can save over two million in the next 15 years. This is very serious and should not be taken as a joke.

All these studies have been carried out by prestigious and respectable research institutions and universities, and are back in many cases by official organisations such as the US National Institutions of Health or the World Health Organisation.

Why uncircumcised men are more prone to STD鈥檚?

Scientist have discovered that the skin covering the inner side of the foreskin is by its nature (has a very low amount of a protein called 鈥榢eratin鈥?which stops viruses entering into the body, plus some other factors) acts as an 鈥榦pen door鈥?to STD鈥檚. Circumcision, by removing the foreskin, 鈥榗loses鈥?this 鈥榙oor鈥?

Circumcision rates are increasing nowadays, both in the United States and overseas. Many African and South American countries with little circumcision tradition are starting to promote the procedure to help to reduce the AIDS-HIV infection rates.

The sites below have very interesting information related to this topic. Please have a look.

I didnt know that anyone radically opposed it.
Its a personal choice for those who do not belong to a religion that requires it, but as you rightly say it is much healthier and more hygenic.

In answer to your first question, I would say that abstinence protects against HIV/AIDS better. There is research to prove that point in Africa.
The stuff they are feeding you about the other is bunk. They have extrapolated into what happens with AIDS and that is an unsafe thing to do.

The anti circumcision groups will still fight for their cause because circumcision is male genital mutilation.
