Male circumcision, if done properly is not mutilation. And the benefits of circumcision not only help adults, they help kids too. So please, just stop. Stop it.https://twitter.com/ThePerezHilton/status/1114241571438956544 …

Risk of infection for circumcised males is high if they engage in sex before healing. Also, the benefits of circumcision are most effective if the man still wrap up. It doesn't prevent 100%, there's still a 40% risk of infection

#i2 Now you're confusing relative risk reduction with absolute risk reduction. And the RCTs you're referring to are riddled with bias & many other methodological flaws, which are detailed here:https://www.researchgate.net/publication/278023840_Critique_of_African_RCTs_into_Male_Circumcision_and_HIV_Sexual_Transmission …1 reply 2 retweets 4 likes -

Okay. There is a reason people have to wait 6 weeks to wrap it up after circumcision. Also, some men still get circumcised after being HIV+.

That some men get cut after an HIV diagnosis is irrelevant to analysis of these RCTs. You're ignoring selection bias, the early & abrupt termination of the RCTs, failure to investigate non-sexual transmission & a host of other problems that make these RCTs a joke.

Apart from reduced HIV infection, there's also reduced HPV infection to their partners

Condom use gives "close to 100% reduction in risk for any STD." A cut man will STILL have to wear a condom to effectively prevent STD transmission. It's unethical to force surgery on a boy who can't consent for the benefit of a hypothetical 3rd person. #i2 https://www.littleimages.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Cultural-Bias-in-the-AAPs-2012-Technical-Report-and-Policy-Statement-on-Male-Circumcision.pdf …
