I was pretty suprised to find an article about Zambia putting up an effort to fight HIV. I was suprised because of the way they are going about it. Zambia has come up with a 10 year program to fight HIV through male circumcision (VOA News, 2010). Many people there are opposed to this program because they say there is not enough evidence to support that circumcision make a male more suceptible to HIV (VOA News, 2010). Religious groups are unhappy about the program as well. "But scientists around the globe and leading groups fighting the disease say studies show that circumcised men are less likely to become infected. They say it’s likely that cells in a man’s foreskin are vulnerable to the virus and that susceptibility is reduced, but not eliminated, when the foreskin is removed" (VOA News, 2010). Personally I have never heard of this correlation but it is interesting to hear. It is also very uplifting to see Zambia making a conscious effort to fight HIV.

I think I have heard in the past about circumcision reducing the chances only slightly because uncircumcised people usually have to clean a bit more thoroughly because they can be dirtier. It is good though that Zambia is making an effort to help reduce the chances.
ReplyDeleteI too have heard that circumcision can help in reducing a number of STDs but it is good that they are making an effort to fight back at HIV I just hope they can recieve some help from others.
ReplyDeleteThis theory has been out for several years now and it makes perfect sense. If it will help reduce the chance that HIV can be acquired, it is worth the effort.
