Mlungisi's Journey: Male Circumcision in Swaziland

[BoxFalcon]

This strategy is counterproductive. A randomised controlled trial performed in Rakai, Uganda (The Lancet, Volume 374, Issue 9685, Pages 229 - 237, 18 July 2009) demonstrated that male circumcision actually increased male-to-female HIV transmission by 50%. Ironically, the study was stopped early due to "futility." (Since the results were not what the researchers expected)

in the 1978 movie 'Superman' when the alien infant emerges from his space capsule he displays a circumcised penis. The jews never bypass an opportunity to brainwash the gullible gentiles into replicating their age-old covenant with Lucifer.

I wonder if he would even understand that simply using a condom is even more effective at preventing HIV. And that simply washing his junk after sex is just as effective as being circumcised. And the kicker is: the chance of catching HIV is actually higher for a time in recently circumcised men.

0:29 "Observational studies looking countries such as Ghana, Sierra Leone, and other Western African Countries, show that in places where there are high circumcision rates, there are low rates of HIV,"

It not just circumcision in those countries (Western african" also includes Senegal, Mauritania, Mali) ;but the reason for circumcision. ISLAM! i.e fornication = haraam, Adultry= haraam, Alchohol &Night clubs which are seed beds for fornication, adultry and divorvce = haraam in Islam.

Have all Africans this easy belief in magical effects?! I feel sorry for them.

It seems to me that condoms fit and function better on a circumcised penis

[metalhaze1982]

that's a sick video. circumcision does NOT reduce HIV, it's condoms that do.

[petermelb]

This is a very reponsible video, not purporting that circumcision will eliminate HIV risks but reduce it by 60%. That is what education is all about, giving accurate information and letting people make choices based on this. People deriding the actions of this young man should take a good look at themselves, what is really their agenda? Not saving lives it appears, but assisting their foreskin fetishes!

[pribadi8406]

@petermelb .

Another moron. Those idiot would believe that after their dicks got cut, they could fuck around and the chances of getting HIV and other STDs would be minimized. Circ. would encourage the youngs to fuck around more thinking that they would not get HIV. Stupid idea.

[joelface]

Why is it the most common? Because they don't practice safe sex! HIV and MORE problems will always trouble these people UNLESS they change their behavior.

Let us NOT treat HIV like a virus that people randomly acquire. It is from NOT wearing condoms, and from sleeping with untested partners, and having lots of different partners. These people can CHANGE this behaviour, but not if teach them that they need to cut off parts of their penis to be safe. That will NOT work.

THINK about it!

[006535971]

the condom works better after the circumcision. Foreskins and condoms  do not work well together.

[joelface]

that is SO untrue. Condoms work totally fine with foreskin.

I refuse to believe that men in ANY part of the world are so incapable that they need to be surgically altered in order to figure out a condom.

what an ignorant claim.

[Sambucca]

Bullshit. Circumcision does not prevent HIV. The studies are flawed. Research and you will see. Condoms and proper sex education are the only effective measures to prevent the spread of the virus. Men's foreskins are not the problem.

Female circumcision has also been touted as an HIV preventative, yet we are not launching a campaign to fly doctors to Africa and circumcise millions of young girls.
