Van Howe: Circumcision as a primary HIV preventive

    Billions of dollars to circumcise millions of African males as an HIV infection prevention have been sought, yet the effectiveness of circumcision has not been demonstrated. Data from 109 populations comparing HIV prevalence and incidence in men based on circumcision status were evaluated using meta-regression. The impact on the association between circumcision and HIV incidence/prevalence of the HIV risk profile of the population, the circumcision rates within the population and whether the population was in Africa were assessed. No significant difference in the risk of HIV infection based on the circumcision status was seen in general populations. Studies of high-risk populations and populations with a higher prevalence of male circumcision reported significantly greater odds ratios (odds of intact man having HIV) (p < .0001). When adjusted for the impact of a high-risk population and the circumcision rate of the population, the baseline odds ratio was 0.78 (95% CI = 0.56–1.09). No consistent association between presence of HIV infection and circumcision status of adult males in general populations was found. When adjusted for other factors, having a foreskin was not a significant risk factor. This undermines the justification for using circumcision as a primary preventive for HIV infection.

    Increased risk of spreading HIV while circumcision wounds heal

    Aber die Lösung ist ja ganz einfach - man nimmt die Jungen/Jugendlichen/Männer, die sich zur Verstümmelung haben ködern lassen anschließend für ein paar Wochen in Haft (Einzelhaft natürlich, wegen MSM) - und dann hat sich die ganze Massenverstümmelung erledigt und man kann sich wieder mit Volldampf sinnvollen Prophylaxe-Maßnahmen widmen. :rolleyes:
