In areas of the world like Uganda it may be a valid point to promote the procedure, but alban is right in that it's very dangerous to (perhaps unintentionally) give the impression circumsion as a preventative measure will lesson chances of infection, therefore people conclude they can lighten up on normal safe sex practices. In developed nations where education in this area is high and people understand the importance of protected sex these kinds of news items, given in short headline or sound bites can be problematical.
Agreed. I was looking as the physical dynamics associated from what I actually see.
