The proposed guidelines seem to be in line with the AAP's Policy Statement of 2012 and also includes considerations for counseling of adolescents and adults in accordance with their HIV risk behavior, HIV status, sexual preferences and other factors. While the media tried to present these guidelines as an immediate endorsement of circumcision, the guidelines are far from recommending universal circumcision and in fact acknowledge that neonatal circumcision presents ethical concerns over the violation of autonomy.
