Male circumcision has become an important factor in the spread of HIV in Tanzania, health officials have said, naming regions where it is not practised as the worst affected by the pandemic.

Circumcision is a dangerous distraction in the fight against AIDS. There are seven African countries where men are more likely to be HIV+ if they've been circumcised: Rwanda, Cameroon, Ghana, Lesotho, Malawi, Swaziland, and Tanzania. Eg in Malawi, the HIV rate is 13.2% among circumcised men, but only 9.5% among intact men. In Cameroon, the HIV rate is 4.1% among circumcised men, but only 1.1% among intact men. If circumcision really worked against AIDS, this just wouldn't happen. We now have people calling circumcision a "vaccine" or "invisible condom", and viewing circumcision as an alternative to condoms.
Meanwhile, 31 South African men have died this year in South Africa's Eastern Cape.
ABC (Abstinence, Being faithful, Condoms) is the way forward. Promoting genital surgery will cost African lives, not save them.
Hear ye! Those who eat salt in their food die. So, don't use salt in your food.
Talk about voodoo idiocy!
