→Malaysia: fixed wiki link for TARA KLamp
According to Malaysian AIDS Council vice-president Datuk Zaman Khan, more than 70% of the 87,710 HIV/AIDS sufferers in the country are Muslims. In Malaysia, most, if not all Muslim men are circumcised, whereas circumcision is uncommon in the non-Muslim community. 60% of the Malaysian population is Muslim, which means that HIV is spreading in the community where most men are circumcised at an even faster rate, than in the community where most men are intact.<ref>http://www.mmail.com.my/content/39272-72-percent-aidshiv-sufferers-malaysia-are-muslims-says-council</ref>
Interestingly enough, Malaysia is home to the [[TaraKlampTARA KLamp]], a controversial circumcision device being marketed in KwaZulu Natal, Africa in the name of HIV prevention.
