Poland has Europe's lowest AIDS rate, even though they don't circumcise.

I am not debating or doubting your statement, I was wondering if you can direct me to any research, study or census which confirms the above.

The map you'll see below comes from Germany's Koch Institute. My memory failed me - the AIDS rate in the Czech Republic is even lower. Still, Poland is second lowest. The countries of the former Soviet Union are not on the map but they are notorious for high AIDS rates, mostly due to drug use. Netherlands is not as bad as France or Spain but has a higher rate than several other countries.

Actually they have a higher percentage of AIDS patients due to years of communism and it's not related to drug use, maybe just in the latter years. During communism there was no such thing as aseptic techniques in healthcare industry, there was a shortage of needles and syringes and using the same syringe & needle over and over without sterilization was the norm simply because the autoclave was inexistent there. I am wondering what is the rate for Andorra? :)

Hmmmm....looks like Norway/Finland could use a good circumcision.
