CIRCUMCISION AND HIV INFECTION
AIDS Holistics has always explained the matter by referring to two doors on the penis.
Door 1 protects by proper medical circumcision with time for the wound to heal.
Door 2 protects by hygiene against cuts, sores, papillae, rashes, STIs and herpes on the penis.
A condom is needed by all circumcised men involved in high risk infection.
The virus enters through the mucosa layer inside the foreskin where it is held by langerhans cells and engulfed by mucosa cells to be taken into the lymph system.
Circumcision removes these cells with the foreskin. But these cells are only half removed by half circumcision in villages.
Circumcision removes these cells with the foreskin. But these cells are only half removed by half circumcision in villages.
Men can be half-protected by circumcision.
Women can not be protected with mucosa cells located on the cervix.
Men circumcised in villages may not be circumcised at all.
