		<description>Thank you for your post! I just had to mention one thing.

Contrary to what you seem to be saying, the studies claiming to show a reduced incidence of HIV in circumcised men did not say anything about a reduced transmission rate to HIV positive men&#039;s partners. The study that was recently done about transmission rate actually found an *increased* HIV transmission rate to female partners when the male partner was circumcised as opposed to intact. The study was ended early, but it&#039;s unclear why they ended it early. A great blog post (from an anti-circumcision view, but his conclusions are quite valid, IMO) that talks about the possible implications of that study and the fact that it was ended early can be found here:
