Remember the studies last year that "proved" adult circumcision could help prevent HIV? Looks like that is not holding true, especially since the men having the procedure done incorrectly believe it means they don't need to practice safe sex and use condoms.

I will say again. Education and encouraging safe sexual practices are the only real way to prevent HIV transmission. The majority of men in the US who are HIV positive are circumcised, and the rate is rising again due to a drop in basic safe sex education (abstinence only sex ed to thank for that).
