[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, there are numerous contradictions within the paper, including the statement that the benefits don't support routine circ. Does anyone know what the absolute HIV risk difference is across the three big studies used to justify the statement? It's 1.31%. They repeat 60% over and over again, and people are all "whoa, better cut," but that's relative risk. The absolute risk either way is very, very low, and that risk is based on an *entirely* different cultural landscape where there is a heterosexual epidemic, [b]sex practices that increase transmission,[/b] and poor access to barrier methods. It. is. crazy. talk. to apply this to American infants. [/quote] +1. Certain African cultures have different sexual practices that are unheard of here in the US (the use of drying powders). It increase tearing and risk of HIV transmission. Those stats really cannot be used here in the US to justify reduced risk, since that risk isn't here.[/quote]
