From BBC News:

Deborah Jack, chief executive of the National AIDS Trust, said: “These findings are encouraging and it is clear the promotion of voluntary circumcision can play an important role in reducing the risk of HIV transmission, as part of a comprehensive prevention programme.

You know what else would play an important role in reducing the risk of HIV transmission? Voluntary celibacy outside of a lifelong monogamous relationship. And guess what? It doesn’t involve a procedure that will end up reducing the man’s enjoyment of sexual activities for the rest of his life.

I wonder if the BBC will also be running an article about how forcing women to have mastectomies will reduce their risk of breast cancer?
