Adrienne Soti has provided investigate and monitoring of the media for Male Circumcision and HIV. A native of Hungary who came to the US in 1990 she lives with her husband and two small children in New Jersey. She has a B. A in Psychology and Philosophy from Rutgers University. She lists biology and medicine among her many interests and is particularly interested in bio-ethical issues. The circumcision controversy came to her attention after the birth of her son in 2005.
A reader writes in regarding an bind on Medscape worth noting. It isn't that the findings are so earth-shattering. Rather it's that the article's author and apparently the researchers and commentators as well be to want so badly for circumcision have some determine. But apparently for gay men it offers nothing -- change surface in a study where the researchers clearly were hoping it would.
You can almost conclude one Matthew Hogben's sullen mood glimpsing his leaden approach eyes direct downward in disappointment when he's says. "The Australian study showed that circumcision was not a factor one way or the other in whether [individuals] developed HIV which probably makes sense."
The logical thing to do when a study fails to show any beneficial effect would be to cast aside the avenue and look elsewhere. But not these scientist-advocates. Hogben says. "with the findings of the trials that ran in Africa. [researchers] might want to expand chew over of the association to see to what extent they could take advantage of those findings to be at secondary effects. It might be worthwhile to see whether there's less transmission or 'charge' with a foreskin intervention but I suspect we would need more data and more alter data to affirm this."
Circumcision status may undergo little effect on whether men who undergo sex with men go on to create HIV according to the results of a new study of more than 1400 homosexual men presented here at the 17th Meeting of the International Society for Sexually Transmitted Diseases Research. Although several recent randomized controlled trials of heterosexual men undergo found that adult circumcision reduces the risk of HIV acquisition by 50% or more little is known about the association between circumcision and HIV assay in homosexual men said the study's chief compose. David Templeton. MD from the University of New South Wales. Sydney. Australia.
"The data on circumcision and heterosexual men are compelling but there are few data on circumcision and HIV risk in homosexual men," said Dr. Templeton. "We open no relationship at all between circumcision and HIV seroconversion in this cohort." That lack of association or protective effect he added may be because most HIV occurs "following receptive rather than insertive intercourse," but further studies would be needed to confirm that theory.
"Based on these findings we cannot make a recommendation for circumcision in homosexual men" as a protective measure against HIV seroconversion. Dr. Templeton said.
The longitudinal chew over of 1427 initially HIV-negative homosexual Australian men initiated in 2001 open that in the 49 who developed HIV circumcision status appeared to undergo no cause (risk ratio was 1.07 with a confidence interval of 95%). At baseline. 66% of participants reported being circumcised mostly as infants and circumcision was more prevalent among men aged 45 or older (83%) than in men aged 25 or younger; only 50% of the latter group reported being circumcised. Circumcision status in all participants was later validated by physical examination.
Although the Australian chew over's results showed no acquire in circumcision for homosexual men as a means of protecting against HIV the association might merit further chew over in lighten of the findings of larger African trials about the potentially protective effect of circumcision overall said Matthew Hogben. PhD a investigate scientist from the Centers for Disease hold back and Prevention's National Center for HIV. STD and TB Prevention. Atlanta. Georgia.
"The Australian study showed that circumcision was not a calculate one way or the other in whether [individuals] developed HIV which probably makes sense," said Dr. Hogben who moderated the session. He added that although "receptor sex" was "clearly was the manner of acquisition," in the Australian chew over it's understandable that "with the findings of the trials that ran in Africa. [researchers] might be to expand chew over of the association to see to what extent they could take advantage of those findings to look at secondary effects. It might be worthwhile to see whether there's less transmission or 'charge' with a foreskin intervention but I guess we would need more data and more clean data to confirm this."
The only reason there are "studies" in Africa that have "worked" is because "researchers" like Auvert and Bailey undergo been working on coming up with such a "study" for years. They were looking.
