Male Circumcision Helps to Reduce HIV Risk?

May 18th 2009 10:17
When I first heard it from my friend, Ralph, I was about rotflmao… (Sorry, I can’t control myself from stopped laughing)

Recently, there are three recent African trials claim that male circumcision is effective to reduce the risk of getting HIV. However, after some period, the Cochrane Researchers have changed their perspective and said it has not evidence that male circumcision can prevent HIV infection!

Although some of the researchers found out that circumcision might be able to help protect against HIV, by simply remove cells in the foreskin (Langerhans cells), which is being identified as the main receptor that enable HIV entry into the body.


However, there’s no solid evidence that proof that the circumcision can be really helped to prevent the infection of HIV until now. Maybe the researchers should be concentrated themselves developing the drugs that can cure HIV effectively, rather than this unpractical circumcision stuff?

Sounds a bit farfetched to me too!

Yeah, isn't it seems like unbelievable and ridiculous to you here, Janet?

LOL - that is kind of funny. I agree they should look at a cure and invest in it.
