circumcised? Your risk of hetrosexually transmitted HIV just went down by 70%

[GeekDrew]

just let it die... please....

As I was fairly sure would happen, it's turned into a "my source vs. your source" argument, and nobody is getting anywhere. I'm still just as "anti-circ" (I prefer "anti-genital-cosmetic-modifications") as I was when I came in here, and no amount of dubious "heath studies" that "prove" that circumcision supposedly has these wonderful benefits will change that. I am done posting in this thread, effective now.

I think most of u are all missing the most important point to having a penis trim.. It sux,, because it reduceds ur sexual sensitivity by quite abit.

 

[CDC Mail Guy]

LoL...very good point. However, if you have to have sex with an HIV person get circumcised...but not immediately before!

In medieval times it could be argued that pulling teeth was a safer way to prevent mouth infections due to their poor dental hygene.

Easily treatable and bearable are two different things. A regular regimine of Zovirax/Valtrex can usually prevent a herpes episode , but do you want to experience the pain of one to know you have it or have a really bad break out up despite the medication?

SNIPPED and glad of it!

The way to avoid herpes isn't surgery. Its called avoiding the skanky women and wearing a rubber.

that was a naive statement. have you seen pictures of women with AIDS/herpes or any std? they don't necessarily look/act skanky.

Hence the "wearing a rubber" portion of my statement.

no kidding, but you also mentioned avoiding skanky women like you could see an STD just by the way a person looks.

I can see STD from quite far away,, look for cold sores,, it's like a clear indication of skankiness and could mean an assortment of the nasty!

funny thread title. I doubt it prevents HIV infection, but I guarantee that if you're circumsized 70% of your partners will complain less about the stank of your cock

For one, they never asked me if I wanted it chopped off. Two, now that I've started regrowing (1/3rd done), I have a lot better feeling and last a lot longer during sex. My wife is enjoying it a lot more, too. It seems I've been missing a lot the past ten years and I have my arrogant, shortsighted parents to blame.

wow you must be kidding.... yea natural selection will take care of you real soon... haha

Don't feel bad. People who get cold sores or aka oral herpes are immune to getting genital herpes. Sure no girls will want to kiss you but you're not with a girl because you want to be kissed.

Interesting read.

Male circumcision reduces the risk that men will contract HIV through intercourse with infected women by about 70 percent, according to a study reported in The Wall Street Journal.

After discovering the dramatic results, French and South African researchers halted the study about nine months in order to offer the uncircumcised men the opportunity to undergo the procedure, the newspaper reported.

The results of the study have not been published in a medical journal, although the French researcher who headed the team is expected to present them at an International AIDS Society conference in Brazil later this month.

The study was conducted on more than 3,000 HIV-negative South African men, ages 18 to 24. Half of the men were randomly selected to be circumcised while the other half remained uncircumcised.

After following the men for a year, the researchers found that for every 10 uncircumcised men in the study who became infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, only an estimated three circumcised men contracted the virus, the newspaper reported.

The study is considered significant because scientists have yet to discover an effective vaccine against the HIV virus or develop a reliable way to prevent infection other than through abstinence or safe-sex practices.

Previous studies have linked circumcision with increased HIV infection.

Boy this post is so old and outdated it should really be closed due to false statements and lack of current info. PREP is almost 100% effective, and to date there has never been a single person to contract HIV from someone already infected if they are on meds and have an undetectable viral load. And as for the content of the original post referring to circumcision as "protection", it should be very obvious that "hygiene" or lack there of is the only factor that could possibly have any relation to such theory. Think about the structure of foreskin... now think about the structure of a vagina. Basically the vagina is foreskin to the 100th power, except it is beyond the reach and lacks the ability of being thoroughly cleaned, unlike a foreskin, that can be retracted as if "circumcised" and cleaned every way imaginable. Some men just lack imagination, as do some women. And no, it it NOT a self-cleaning oven!

Dogs lick their own nuts and never get HIV. Dogs are on to something.

Circumcision is neat.

Circumcision to prevent HIV is like cutting off your leg to reduce the chance of dying of infection from a stubbed toe. The only reason it reduces HIV infection is because without the protection of the foreskin, the glans keratinizes, becoming impermeable, more akin to normal skin than to the mucus membrane that it is naturally - also reducing sensation BTW.

Having no foreskin greatly reduces sexual function and sensation, for a variety of reasons. There is no debate about this, it's well known amongst members of the community of foreskin restoration who cares about such things.

Well you just brought it back to the front page when very few people have read it since 2005.

Absolutely hilarious that such a thing exists. Some people truly need a hobby.
