HELP US TELL THE WORLD MEDICAL COMMUNITY:
CIRCUMCISION DOES NOT PREVENT AIDS!
In light of this week’s German court ruling that a child's right to physical integrity must be protected, the time is NOW to go one step further and tell the global community that circumcision is wrong for babies, and wrong as a resource in the fight against AIDS. For years now, the pro-circumcision lobby has fought hard to convince America and the world that circumcision prevents the spread of HIV. But time and time again, these researchers-with-an-agenda refuse to look at the facts. Mass circumcision campaigns now being promoted in sub-Saharan Africa are:
- diverting resources from proven prevention programs (such as condoms and education);
- resulting in a high number of complications and deaths;
- increasing risk-compensation behaviors (“I’m cut, so I can have sex without a condom”); and
- putting women at higher risk for AIDS*
