Subject: Circumcision reduces HIV rates by half |
Bible Note: Sure. Sharing of needles for IV drug delivery (by resource-limited health care providers or by illicit drug users), transfusions of infected blood or clotting factors, during birth as a child passes through the birth canal, after birth through breast milk, accidentally when health care workers are stuck by infected needles or are otherwise exposed to infected fluids at open wounds or mucous membranes. It is possible to get HIV without being sexually immoral. My point about circumcision was that perhaps modern science is finally catching up with at least part of God's wisdom imparted so long ago. |
