== Promoting Circumcision in Africa ==
Halperin and Bailey convinced eastern and south African "healers" to perform foreskin removal "as a way to alleviate chronic STD infection and prevent [[AIDS]]" in the 1990's. During the nineties alone, they convinced hundreds of South African men that circumcision would prevent [[HIV]].<ref name=Slack2000/>
== [[HIV]]/[[AIDS ]] ==
Daniel Halperin has said he believes circumcision will go further than any other intervention available in stopping the [[HIV]], and that circumcision will prevent [[HIV]] among homosexual men.<ref name=Slack2000/>

|Text=Don't you dare write that I think foreskins cause [[AIDS ]] epidemics, any more than mosquitoes cause malaria. Mosquitoes are necessary for malaria, but not sufficient. You need all these cofactors to get an explosive [[AIDS ]] epidemic, including foreskins.
