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.

There are a lot of things to actually consider: men who have sex with men, prior infection, sexual intercourse before healing, sexual intercourse during healing without protection... There's a lot of things to consider

What you need to consider: 1) NONE of those factors applies to a healthy newborn; 2) the int'l medical consensus is that the evidence shows the risks & harms of #circumcision outweigh the benefits; 3) prophylactic amputation of a child's healthy body part is always unethical. #i2
