The best way to avoid AIDS is to not sleep around.

Obvious to those of us here. However, don't completely discount circumcision. Articles in the current JAMA showed being circumcised (the men NOT the women) reduced the males risk of getting HIV as much as using condoms. If they don't get it they can't spread it. If their parents provide such protection even the Clintonites at the DU couldn't scr*w up this partial protection. Circumcision is not the best or only solution, but it is useful as part of a solution.

I understand that many believe that circumcision is a good thing. I'm not a guy (!) so I can't comment. I'm just saying that a return to old-fashioned values would take away the worries that so many have now. The 60's were very destructive to our culture. Maybe the youth of today can learn to respect their bodies and other 's bodies. Instant gratification has become a way of life here. It's not a good thing. PS-the bulk of the male population in the world is not circumcised. It is just a custom here and a religious requirement in the Jewish faith.

The suggestion that male circumcision provides as much protection as always using a condom is A Fatal Mistake.

If a man sleeps around and has unprotected sex, he will eventually get AIDS whether he is circumcised or not.
