We reported a few months back that there was now conclusive evidence that male circumcision, the process by which a man’s penile foreskin is peeled back, helps to prevent the contraction of AIDS in men who engage in sex with partners. 

Well now, it’s looking like the likelihood that circumcision can cut risk of AIDS exposure up to half is very high, so the push for male circumcisionk, especially in AIDS stricken areas of Africa, may be the key to stopping this horrible disease from spreading so rampantly.   

The reason is related to the fact that circumcision is actually a much more hygienic way for the penis to be exposed, because if the foreskin is still in its original position that it was at birth, it increases the likelihood of bacteria, dirt and even a deadly virus, will accumulate there and be able to cause problems. 

Not only that, but the actuall cells that live in the foreskin of the male penis are more susceptible to the AIDS virus for some reason, making the man that much more likely to contract the disease and for it to make it’s way into his blood stream.   

Circumcision does not mean that men should stop wearing condoms as a precaution though, by any means.  Condoms are still the safest way to go, especially when having sex with multiple partners (not at once, I mean if you are not married or exclusive to one person only - monogomous in other words).
