Circumcision may stop millions of HIV deaths

I've written about this before. Circumcised men have a much lower chance of contracting AIDS than do uncircumcised men. So, not only do they not get AIDS as easily as others, but the chances of a circumcised man then passing it on is lower. (He can't pass it on if he doesn't get it.)

Of course, as the article notes at the end, it's not a cure and will not stop the disease. Still, lowering the risk of contracting the disease is a very, very good thing.
