Dr. David A. Cooper is an Australian emergency physician[1]. He is or was director of the National Centre in HIV Epidemiology and Clinical Research at St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney.[2]
Circumfetish
Cooper and colleagues once referred to circumcision as a “surgical vaccine” and called for a boost in infant circumcision rates to reduce the transmission of HIV.[3] Cooper urged the Federal Government to consider the research and its implications locally and in neighbouring countries such as Papua New Guinea, which has a highly unstable HIV epidemic.[2]
It seems as if Cooper really believed (or still believes?) that circumcision is a valuable protection against AIDS which has been proven wrong since then. But chances are that circumfetishist Brian J. Morris liked his idea and invited him to co-author some of his paper in favor of mandantory circumcision for all males.
