Replying to @amymaxmen @WHO
Adult voluntary circumcision in Africa reduces relative risk of female to male only HIV (increases risk male to female); no evidence infant or religious circumcision protective at all in developed nations. Your statistic is so misleading as to be worse than false

Public health experts (outside of the US where most doctors are cut and so biased in favor of that status) increasingly oppose routine, non therapeutic infant circumcision b/c it's harmful & unnecessary.
To say it "prevents 60% of #HIV infections" is absurdly false. #i2
