In an effort to reduce the spread of HIV, public health officials are considering the promotion of “universal circumcision” for all baby boys born in the United States.
The move comes after officials analyzed the results of several studies that show in African countries hit hard by HIV, men who were circumcised reduced their infection risk by half, the New York Times reported. However, those studies focused on heterosexual men who are at risk of getting HIV from infected female partners. The main issue in the U.S. is men who have sex with men.
In 2008, the CDC estimated that more than 56,000 people were newly infected with HIV in 2006 (the most recent year that data are available). Over half of those new infections occurred in gay and bisexual men.

Meanwhile, critics of the recommendation said it subjects newborn boys to “medically unnecessary” surgery without their consent.
But Dr. Peter Kilmarx, chief of epidemiology for the division of HIV/AIDS prevention at the CDC, told the Times that any step that could stop the spread of HIV must be given “serious consideration.”
“We have a significant HIV epidemic in this country, and we really need to look carefully at any potential intervention that could be another tool in the toolbox we use to address the epidemic,” Kilmarx told the newspaper. “What we’ve heard from our consultants is that there would be a benefit for infants from infant circumcision, and that the benefits outweigh the risks.”
An official draft of the proposed recommendations by the CDC is due out by the end of the year. In the meantime, the CDC is hosting its National HIV Prevention Conference in Atlanta this week.

Re: Report: CDC Considers Promoting 'Universal Circumcision' to cut aids
Sewing vaginas & rectums closed would also prevent aids, as well as cutting off penis'.
I also bet if you nuke africa and south america that would send the number of aids cases down dramatically.
Those are steps that would greatly reduce aids, are they on the table and being seriously considered too?

There are some religions (Some lines of Catholicism) that do not practice circumcision. In Sikhism, there is a rule forbidding it.
Most importantly, this is a family issue and not one the gov't should stick their nose in.It's also much better to be an evicted survivor than an obedient corpse. -GunLawyer001

Re: Report: CDC Considers Promoting 'Universal Circumcision' to cut aids
sure... let's circumcise everyone. infant girls included. like they do in Africa. cut out a baby girl's clitoris sans anesthesia to stop them from being promiscuous. like they do in Africa.
maybe, if they still get AIDS as adults, they can rape other infants to "cure" their AIDS.... LIKE THEY DO IN FUCKING AFRICA.
you want to lower STD's, stop saying its immoral to teach children about safe sex and prophylaxis.
you want young folk to be happy and monogamous? stop telling them that sex is bad, masturbation is evil, and all that other tripe.
or, continue making one of an infant's very first experiences on Earth that of being ripped away from the warmth of the mother, strapped down onto a cold table, and having the most sensitive part of the human body literally ripped the fuck out.The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but believe me, it's on the damned list.

This would have been a funny headline during the Clinton years.
