| Title= | Text=Where you don’t have complete keratinization of the remaining mucosa, then that could in effect increase the transmission of (the) virus.
<small>'''NOTE:''' ''While pro-circ HIV "researchers" are claiming keratinization is a fact, pushers such as [[Brian J. Morris]] and [[Jake H. Waskett]] claim there is no keratinization. The keratinization reduces sensation.''</small>

{{Citation
| Title=Male Circumcision does NOT protect women | Text=Disappointingly, when we looked at the women partners of the (HIV) positive men, who've been circumcised, compared to the partners who had not been circumcised, we actually found a slightly higher rate of transmission from the positive circumcised men than from positive uncircumcised men.
<small>'''NOTE:''' ''Interestingly, Maria has said on numerous occasions that circumcision will reduce the rate of transmission to female partners, even though her research doesn't support this. Here she contradicts herself, yet again.''</small>
