Circumcision could save African lives

Circumcision has shown that the chances of HIV infection can be cut by as much as 60%. Is circumcision a good AIDS-fighting strategy? "I would say we're making two points -- it's an effective strategy and it's cost effective," said one of the lead researchers on the study.

I would have to agree.
