Why Circumcision wont work with HIV/STI’s


Why Circumcision wont work with HIV/STI’s
HIV/STI infections are caused by human behavioural factors.  Every research that has done an in-depth analysis of the causes has found the No.1 variable involved in  STI infections is having sex with multiple sex partners.  The next most important variable was the use or not of condoms.  Unless these 2 variables are addressed which are behavioural in nature no progress will ever be made in reducing HIV/STI infections.  It is why the USA with highest circumcision rates in the western world has the highest rates of HIV/STI infections in the western world.  Advocates for Youth research found Americans had higher number of sex partners and used condoms less than their Non-Circumcised European peers.
