HIV Forum

I was reading an article that says Circumcision may help minimize transmission of HIV from men to women. Would this push your decision to be or have your children circumcised?

I would be interested in reading the article as to how they think that would make a difference. But no it would not change the way I feel one way or the other,unless it was proven then maybe if I hadn't thought of it i would research it more.

not sure that there's really enough information to make that decision at this point...

Wow I was reading all the information and something kept standing out to me. The three randomised controlled trials showed that male circumcision performed by well-trained medical professionals was safe and reduced the risk of acquiring HIV infection by approximately 60%.
60%! Wow well maybe then knowing this information if I hadn't considered doing the circumcision I would now.
