Circumcision reduces the chance of STDs? LOL...just when I thought I've heard it all.... anyone have proof of this?

@Mordimoux: Human fluid can't get past a foreskin?...really gotta re-evaluate that

It's kind of a mute point for most first world countries that have very little HIV. In this article they discuss it, and there are links to other studies done in Kenya, South Africa, and Uganda.

@Mordimoux: Thank you for the link. I haven't read it yet but will. I think that there is no way for human fluid to not get past a foreskin in order to impregnate or spread STD. I think this is rubbish that some religious folks propagate.

@Mordimoux: HIV is a serious problem is one first world nation. That nation is... the USA, the Empire of the Gentile Bald Penis ;)

@Mordimoux: The African clinical trials are not relevant to the North Atlantic nations. There is only one African nation, where intact men have a materially higher risk of being HIV+: Kenya.
The African clinical trials were badly designed, badly executed, and badly analysed. All they concluded was that circumcised men were less likely to contract HIV from a single act of unprotected PIV. If circumcised men are more likely to disdain condoms, the "benefit" of circumcision will decline as a circumcised male grows older. Detecting this phenomenon (which is an instance of "risk compensation") would have required that the clinical trials last at least 10 years. Instead, the clinical trials were all cut short after 2-3 years, ruling out any chance of detecting risk compensation.
