| Title=AIDS in third world countries | Text=It is my opinion that because the maof men from Central Africa and Haiti are not circumcised, they constantly develop balanitis as a result of the heat and other problems, leading to breakage oi the skin. This leads to chronic infections such as phimosis and paraphimosis. ln this setting, there is frequent mini-ulceration of the foreskin of the penis. This represents an easy portal of entry for the virus during coitus with, let us say, an infected prostitute. Another possibility arises because the women in that part of the world do not shave the pubis. Thus there is the possibility of mini-lacerations occurring during coitus as the foreskin comes into contact with pubic hair. This is another possible portal of entry for the virus. This, to me, seems a more plausible explanation for female-to-male transmission in Central Africa and Haiti. | Author=Valiere Alcena | Source=| lang=| before=| after=| Transcription=| Translation= | ref=<ref>[http://www.dralcena.com/resources/Articles.pdf AIDS IN THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES by Valiere Alcena, August 1986]</ref>
