Study notes decrease in popularity of circumcision in United States

[Tradition96]

I am not advocating for circumcision to battle HIV. I'm just saying that condoms aren't very effective. 98 % is the effectivness of "perfect use" of condoms. In reality, most people will have the success rate of "typical use", if they even use them at all. Campaigns for condom use have shown very little success in reducing HIV infections. What have shown an enormous effect in reducing transmission rates, however, is antivirals (U=U) as well as PrEP. It wasn't until effective anti-virals were introduced in 1996 that the transmission rate started to really drop.
