Circumcision may help protect men from the AIDS virus but it does not protect the wives and female partners of infected men.
"The foreskin of the penis, which is removed during circumcision, is rich in cells that are particularly easy for the virus to infect. The theory is that removing this source of vulnerable cells makes infection more difficult."
I am an avid Beatles fan! If you are too, come see if you can answer these questions about their movie "Help!". Some background knowledge may be required.
