I think the last paragraph of the CDC PDF text sums it up pretty well.
“…men MAY wish to consider circumcision as an ADDITIONAL HIV prevention measure….”. It goes on to state the circumcision has some risks, testing was limited and “confers only PARTIAL protection and should be considered only IN CONJUCTION WITH….abstinence, mutual monogamy, reducing number of sex partners and correct and consistent condom use….
Your source is creditable, but it is a carbon of the
“nutra sweet can kill brain cells”,
“saccharine causes cancer in lab rats” and
“lavender oils found in some shampoos, soaps and lotions can leave boys with enlarged breasts”.
I certainly do not want to argue the CDC’s stand on this, but you have to realize the focus groups and situations that lead up to the CDC essays.
Back to the HPV post of Wylds…..
Below are some excerpts from various studies that disband the once tradition “evil foreskin” rules. I wish I could paste links like you did to cut down on text but it is just beyond me how to do that. I added on about 65 sources from all the corners of the world, including but not limited to, the American Cancer Society, the American and New England Journals of medicines…I hope you find it a bit enlightening. **drats, I hade to cut off about 20 refences in order to stay under the 10.000 character limit. Let my know and I will gladly PM the balance to anyone wishing to read them.
The hypothesis that cervical cancer is caused by smegma of the male foreskin was invented in 1954 by Wynder. His study was found to be invalid… Wynder later recognized and admitted the error in 1960.3
This study, more than the others, exposed the myth that the presence of a foreskin or smegma had any association with the incidence of cancer of the cervix.
Male circumcision has never been proved to offer any real protection against HPV infection in the female partner, but even if it did, it still would not be necessary because the vaccine will offer protection.
