[NA] Circumcision and HIV

[cwyckham]

Very definitely not aviation related:

Ok, this is a really fascinating article saying that circumcision drastically decreases the risk of HIV transmission in heterosexual men (not really new news, just a larger study to confirm what people already knew). However, check out the name of the doctor who heads the World Health Organization's AIDS division!!

"This is an extraordinary development," said Dr. Kevin de Cock, director of the World Health Organization's AIDS department. "Circumcision is the most potent intervention in HIV prevention that has been described."

Well, the article is from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the Canadian version of the BBC. It's a pretty good source. Certainly not "The Onion."

However, since you doubt me, here's a press release from the World Health Organization entitled "Dr Kevin De Cock starts as the New HIV/AIDS Director at WHO"

When I was in high school, I had a friend whose father was an orthodontist.

Dr. Bracey.
