1) Prove an effective tactic.
2) Be feasible to carry out safely.
3) Is superior in terms of effectivity to methods which have been tried, tested and proven to work in reducing HIV rates.
4) Is feasible in terms of resources.
5) Is possible without reducing measures which have been proven to work as anti-HIV strategies.
This is not a scientifically proven study. remember when the FDA approves drugs, and they later pull them because of untoward and lethal side effects?
The WHO runs unscientific studies?It seemed pretty cut and dry, circumcised men have less of a chance at getting AIDS.Of course infants are not really at risk to get aids through sex but if you could give an infant a shot or perform a simple procedure that would to cut in half the risks of them developing a fatal disease and in turn passing that disease onto their own kids would you do it?I think you need to take a broader look at this topic and stop focusing on the mental repercussions of a procedure that most kids never would know was done to them unless they were told so and realize the big issue here is not that some ugandan boy thinks his dinger looks weird or his penis isnt as sensitive but the fact that half his family is infected with aids and people are dying by the hundreds of thousands from HIV.
