There is in fact some evidence that female circumcision leesens the chances of
contractind AIDS through heterosexual activity :

It could be done in a way to preserve the clitoris and not not be too disasterious for
sexual pleasure. May have other benifits such as protecting against cancer of the vulva.
The question needs to be asked, why aren’t those who promote male circumcision taking a serious look at female circumcision ? Why do the media ingnore the potential
benifits of female circumcision, but are quick to report on male circumcision ?

HIV/AIDS in the Developing World

A new project has been initiated with the cooperation of Dr. Bihari. This aims to acquaint all of the developing nations about the potential of LDN in dealing with the AIDS pandemic.

(Click here for The Developing Nations Project.)

LDN is very low cost ie less than 20p per dose. Not much profit.

Circumcision isn’t just a red herring. Promoting it as some kind of silver bullet against HIV will result in many thousands more deaths. The people pushing it are only interested in promoting male circumcision for its own sake (or anything-but-condoms), rather than in fighting AIDS.

There are no fewer than seven African countries where men are more likely to be HIV+ if they’ve been circumcised: Rwanda, Cameroon, Ghana, Lesotho, Malawi, Swaziland, and Tanzania. For example in Rwanda, 3.5% of circumcised men have HIV, but only 2.1% of intact men. In Cameroon, 4.1% of circumcised men have HIV, but only 1.1% of intact men. If circumcision really worked against AIDS, this just wouldn’t happen. We now have people calling circumcision a “vaccine” or “invisible condom”, and viewing circumcision as an alternative to condoms.

ABC (Abstinence, Being faithful, Condoms) is the way forward. Promoting genital surgery will cost African lives, not save them.
