Male Circumcision Offers HIV Protection By Dramatically Altering Microbiome

Over the last few years there have been a number of studies suggesting that male circumcision may protect against HIV infection. Several possible reasons have been offered by experts as to why circumcision offers protection against HIV infection. Now here's one more reason...

A study led by Lance Price of the Translational Genomics Research Institute suggests that a significant shift in the bacterial community or microbiome of the penis as a result of circumcision could explain HIV protection.

The researchers found that in men who were circumcised, the total bacterial load under the foreskin was 33.3 percent less than those who remained uncircumcised one year after the study began. Specifically, it was found that the population of anaerobic bacteria had decreased while the numbers of some aerobic bacteria increased slightly.

Let’s be frank (excuse the pun) about the study and see it in it’s proper perspective........

The study found uncircumcised queers had fecal material on their weenies while those queers who were circumcised only had KY jelly on theirs.

They found that ALL queers in the study had SERIOUS MENTAL PROBLEMS.

There’s a pretty radical anti-circumcision bunch out there.

...they’re going to have to make some tough policy choices.

You’re more likely to get bowel cancer from nitrites in bacon and other meats than HIV from not circumcising / mutilating the male penis.

The loss of pleasure from removing a highly innervated portion of the penile anatomy is a tragedy to those forced into this barbarism, whose loss they’ll never have the ability to realise.

Just a quick fact check to have a glimpse at the fraud that is rampant in medical writing and “studies”:

Sweden, where adults are among the most promiscuous, and where males are not circumcised, has half the HIV rate per capita than Israel, where nearly every male is circumcised. These are nationwide statistics taking much larger sample sizes than these circumcision “studies” you just cannot ignore.

I feel so much safer now. I just wish the doc hadn’t whittled it down to a nub.
