Drs. William Shaftner and Kevin de Cock

OK…after finding an article about the actual risk of contracting Mad-Cow Disease with a quote by Dr. William Shaftner (cf. Denny Crane), comes this…in an article about evidence that circumcision helps reduce the risk of HIV infection in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The man surely had a destiny…his whole life culminated in him accepting that particular position.

Dr Kevin De Cock, director of the HIV/Aids department of the World Health Organization told the BBC the results were a "significant scientific advance" but were not a magic bullet and would never replace existing prevention strategies.

"We will have to convene a meeting which we hope will happen quite soon to review the data in more detail and have discussions about the implications.

"This is an intervention that must be embedded with all the other interventions and precautions we have. Men must not consider themselves protected. It’s a very important intervention to add to our prevention armamentarium."
