there was an article in the New York Times a few days ago about a study done in South Africa that might be the greatest breakthrough in AIDS studies since the creation of the vaccine. They found that circumcision reduces the risk of HIV by 50%. Some African countries are rounding up men at this moment who want to be circumcised. They're also asking other nations for funding for clean tools and to be able to establish more circumcision centers.

I think that any step we take to help bring an end to this major health problem is really worthwhile and I hope this really makes some progress.

here is the article:
