Resurgent; Circumcision Has Apparently Offered No Protection. 'Safe Sex' & The Use Of
A Condom Are Suggested As The Best Defence Against Contracting HIV/AIDS Or STDs. |

| THE
NEED FOR CHILD, TEEN OR ADULT CIRCUMCISION |
In
Scandinavia, Only Two-Tenths Of One Percent Of Older Boys And Men Have To Be Circumcised
For Medical Reasons. In Finland Where The Neonatal Circumcision Rate Is Zero, 6 In 100,000
OLDER Men Undergo Circumcision. Worldwide, Foreskin Problems, If Any, Are Treated
Conservatively--Not Surgically. |
The Rate Is
Not High, But It Is Not Zero As You Might Expect. Some Undergo, Re-Circumcisions Because
Of Poorly Performed (Or Botched) Circumcisions. |
