I have been reading about this: circumcision can protect you from getting AIDS. Some reseach was done in Africa and now New York City is said to start its own experiment. In New York, it is said 25% of gay men carry the visrus. That's large. But, get men circumsision is a tough call .. while 60% of white men get it as a baby... so I have heard. In Japan, circumcision at birth is very rare as far as I know. And, I don't understand why it has anything to do with AIDS... hummmm
