=== [[AIDS]] prevention ===
Studies refute circumcision as [[AIDS]] prevention. Male circumcision is irrelevant to the spread of [[AIDS]] if one counts out the number of infected prostitutes in the region. There is less [[AIDS]] in Muslim areas. However, this is not caused by the higher number of [[circumcised ]] men, but by the lower number of prostitutes per inhabitant. When looking at sexual intercourse individually, circumcision can reduce the transmission rate by 50-60%, but the problem is that individuals in areas with a high [[AIDS]] rate have multiple sexual contacts with infected people. Circumcision would only delay the inevitable and be ineffective as [[AIDS]] prevention.<ref name="AIDS-Studie">{{REFnews

Among 500 men, 23.4% of the [[circumcised ]] had already been affected by a sexually transmitted disease by the age of 32, and 23.5% of the uncircumcised[[intact]].<ref name="SÜK-Studie">{{REFweb

It has the opposite effect when [[circumcised ]] men feel safe from [[AIDS]] and do without condoms.<ref>{{REFweb
