Male circumcision may help to avoid the risk of HIV infection
Some scientific studies found that male circumcision may reduce the incidence of AIDS and reduce the spread, which may help to save the lives of millions of people. Results of the studies are cautiously optimistic and work is under way to ascertain the authenticity. The researchers from the World Health Organization that male circumcision on a regular basis throughout the African continent might prevent millions of deaths caused by HIV “AIDS”. The researchers analysed data testing indicated that men who have been circumcised are less vulnerable to HIV infection. Based on statistics leased researchers if it was circumcision of all men over the next ten years will enable it to avoid injuring two million men infected and to prevent the deaths of 300,000 others ill. The researchers believe that circumcision reduces the risk of infection because the foreskin penis, which cited covering the penis and cut off when circumcision, covered with cells that the virus can apparently penetrated easily. The virus also live in warm and humid climates, such as underwater foreskin The main reason for its spread is the sexual relationship. If male circumcision will be exposed to the infection few of them and therefore would not be transmitted infections them to their partners, according to studies.
Lower rate of HIV infection among circumcised men
Several studies indicated that men who have been circumcised have a lower incidence of HIV Watch. No. In. This is very clear in some areas of Africa where some groups of male circumcision does not do so while other groups. In last year discovered Bertrand fled and the French National Agency for Research and his colleagues at the World Health Organization that male circumcision has been in South Africa at least 65 per cent risk of infection from the deadly virus peers who are not circumcised. Then abundance team then conducted an analysis to determine what would happen if the circumcision of all men in Africa. The researchers in the study, published in current issue of the periodical Public Library of Science Medicine, that in West Africa and cons of male circumcision reduced the spread of Craft. No. In. In North Africa while the inverted image in South Africa. The analysis shows that male circumcision can be a way to avoid some six million new infections and save the lives of three million people in sub-Saharan Africa over the next twenty years. Overall, the draft collective male circumcision will reduce the infection rate of 37 per cent.
Male circumcision and prevention for women!
The American and Ugandan researchers have gone to that male circumcision also assesses women with AIDS, apparently. Where they found that male circumcision reduced HIV disease by 30 per cent of their partners. In the study, conducted on more than 300 Ugandan couples who transferred the man whom infection disease for women, researchers found that 299 women were infected with HIV Watch. No. Partners in non-circumcised, whereas only 44 are HIV-woman only circumcised men. He said researchers at a conference on AIDS held in Denver beginning of this year that circumcision reduced the risk of infection as well as other diseases transmitted through sex. The researchers said it seemed evident among men infected with the disease that circumcision reduces the likelihood of transmission of the disease to others through sex. But there is still not clear whether it could disseminate the results of these studies to include gay men who spread the disease further in the mediation.
Cautious optimism
Although the researchers are early indications of these studies exciting and promising, but they say he must first confirmed before used as grounds for issuing recommendations. In this context, warned Kevin De Cock, director of the HIV WHO excess of optimism, pointing out that his organization has not yet issued binding recommendations in this regard pending the results of these studies by other studies depth. The international official betting on the two studies be conducted in both Kenya and Uganda are expected to be completed them in 2007. Experts warned that these studies lead to negative results. In this context, he fears Osama Hamouda, a researcher at the Robert Koch Institute in Berlin, to ignore some means of prevention such as using condoms when having sex based on the premise that circumcision prevents HIV transmission and therefore the results will be contrary to what looked to the researchers.
