Think of all the myths, like jumping a virgin. It could lead ppl to think as long as they're circumcised, they're safe.<BR/><BR/>I read a statistic about 2 African countries ( can't remember their names) where one Muslim country was measured against a Christian/ Animist country: there was no difference in the % of HIV.<BR/><BR/>Daana: you "never knew that circumcision was culturally unacceptable to some people" In DK it's not unacceptable, only very rare ( I'd say 1-2% - and they're all Muslim/Jewish). HIV rate it very low, because when the first gay men started dying in the 80es, there were massive campaigns to educate ppl. Homosexuality is not a big taboo here. <BR/><BR/>My personal view (and no offense to anyone's tradition here) is a person should choose for himself. If I had my way it would be a crime to cut an underage child. [not talking FGM here (ugh!) it's strictly illegal in DK] I even read an online fatwa somewhere that if an adult wishes to convert to Islam , circumcision is not mandatory. <BR/><BR/>I say roll down the rubber, don't listen to the Pope or a sheikh. It's life or death.Fætter Vimshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07792380478742879671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32521070.post-58638578088287951192007-04-16T00:03:00.000+02:002007-04-16T00:03:00.000+02:00I think the current hype around male circumcision ...I think the current hype around male circumcision is too early too.

In Cameroon, Ghana, Lesotho, Malawi, Rwanda, and Tanzania, AIDS is markedly more common among the circumcised. The *success* of the cut men in Uganda was that they CONTRACTED HIV at a rate SIX TIMES HIGHER than the rate for African-American men. <BR/><BR/>The studies said the cut men were MORE likely to transmit AIDS to a partner. Also, it was recently published that African youth (not yet sexually active) are MORE LIKELY to have AIDS if they were circumcised. <BR/><BR/>Two weeks ago, the British Journal of Urology published a study demonstrating that the foreskin is the best part of the penis, and that cut men give up a lot of satisfaction. <BR/><BR/>90% of the half-million American men who have died of AIDS were circumcised at birth. Circumcision does not prevent a man from getting AIDS (and it certainly doesn't protect his partner or prevent pregnancy like condoms do).<BR/><BR/>-RonTLC Tuggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16239396308939812371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32521070.post-8565156056287361862007-04-13T22:18:00.000+02:002007-04-13T22:18:00.000+02:00It is strange but true in South Sudan.

Some tribes never practice it and consider circumcised males as step to Islamizaton.<BR/><BR/>It is easy to circumcise in the towns, but to promote it in areas not circumcising will be a big issue.Black Kushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00344824599797980299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32521070.post-84546164713121134662007-04-13T15:58:00.000+02:002007-04-13T15:58:00.000+02:00I read about those trials a few weeks ago in MSNBC...I read about those trials a few weeks ago in MSNBC, but I never knew that circumcision was culturally unacceptable to some people. Anyways, yes truly Islam and Judaism both require male circumcision, but it has become such a widespread practice almost everywhere in the world now. Here in the states most boys are circumcised at birth regardless of religious or cultural customs (of course there are some people people who don't want that performed to their children however it is still widely practiced). Now the problem for us in Africa is lack of education, and fear of non-conforming with cultural values or fear of being called names. We need to educate the public about such issues including giving them info about HIV virus and ways of spreading and possible methods of protection. I know that this seems to be very hopeful and unrealistic due to lack of government programs and limited resources, but it is the only way to stop HIV from spreading even further.Daanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06761559701043223373noreply@blogger.com
