Babies aren't going to be getting any STI's before they're old enough to decide for themselves whether or not they want part of their genitals cutting off. It's their body; it should be their decision. 2) This latest study showed that the circumcised men were very much more likely to be using condoms, but this doesn't seem to have been accounted for. 3) These latest studies are from Africa. The Dickson study in New Zealand showed a slightly *higher* rate of STI's among circumcised men. 4) If we found out that cutting off part of a girl's genitals reduced her risk of contracting an STI, would that make it acceptable? The Stallings study in Tanzania showed exactly that. If female circumcision had caught on in the USA (it was promoted in medical papers till at least 1959, and practised till the early 70's), and western researchers were now looking for benefits of female circumcision as enthusiastically as they are looking for benefits of male circumcision, we'd now be getting news articles about how female circumcision help prevent STI's. It wouldn't mean that there aren't better ways to prevent STI's, and it wouldn't make it right. News just in this week: A jury in Atlanta has awarded $1.8 million to a boy whose penis was severed in a botched circumcision five years ago. The Fulton County jury also awarded the boy's mother another $500,000. 1) I’m tired of circumcised men trying to justify cutting parts off other people’s bodies.

But in US the level of educating about HIV is very high compare to any where in the world. Inorder to prevent HIV/AIDS we need to educate the people to overcome this deadly disease.
