    Rwandan men are *more* likely to have HIV if they've been circumcised:

    2.1% of intact Rwandan men have HIV
    3.5% of circumcised Rwandan men have HIV

    Other countries where circumcised men are *more* likely to be HIV+ are Cameroon, Ghana, Lesotho, Malawi, and Swaziland.  That's at least six African countries where men are more likely to be HIV+ if they've been circumcised, and yet they're promoting circumcision to prevent HIV.  What will it take to stop this madness?
