Excerpt:

HEALTH Minister Aaron Motsoaledi has appealed to all uncircumcised men to go to their nearest hospital to get circumcised.

Speaking in Parliament yesterday ahead of World Aids Day on December 1, Motsoaledi said all health facilities would be able to provide circumcision free of charge.

"We appeal to each and every male who is uncircumcised, please do get yourself circumcised," he said, adding that there was clear evidence that circumcision formed a part of preventing HIV.

The government also plans more "community-based interventions" that are already being used to combat HIV in KwaZulu-Natal.

i thought this would happen ,its unfortunate. but in a way it can be good. the HIV rate in africa is around 4.0% compared to the US hiv rate of 0.6%. this means that if circumcision does not slow HIV and instead increases HIV. the increase will be faster and people will notice. and then people in africa will start fighting back. saying that (the US) intended to spread HIV even faster.

this whole africa circumcision campaign will bite the us back hard. the US is realty shitting into the fan now.
