The CDC and male circumcision
The CDC began to promote male circumcision as a HIV-prevention method as of February 2008.[2] The CDC currently funds mass circumcision campaigns run by BOTUSA.[3]
The CDC seems to be obsessed with male circumcision. A search on the CDC website now produces 760 files that mention circumcision.There evidently is a strong pro-circumcision culture at the CDC.
Proposed fuidelines for counseling male patients and parents
On 2 December 2014, the CDC released an anonymous proposed guideline for counseling male patients and parents regarding male circumcision and the prevention of HIV infection, STIs and other health outcomes to which the authors declined to affix their names. 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.
