I think that the assumption that there is a high degree of sexual role segregation in MSM communities in Soweto to be a bit problematic. I am curious to know what evidence the researcher relied on to conclude that 76% of the men had insertive anal intercourse only, and one wonders how representative of a group of MSM this was.

I must agree Frank, seems ironic today the US still has the highest rate of circumcision of any industrialized country. Yet still has the highest rate of HIV of any industrialized country.

This study directly conflicts with four previous studies carried out in Australia, New Zealand, The US and Great Britian that showed no benefit from male circumcision. How is it that this study found such a marked difference? With the falling infant male circumcision rate in The US, a raft of these studies has been coming out with breathless press releases ad infinitum. I predicted more than 10 years ago that there would be a lashback and my prediction is becoming true.
