Circumcision prevents AIDS

then, MUslim not picking up the unheigynic habits of the Jews and adopting other healthy habits (which were not Jewish) such as pohibition of drinking of wine and smoking, should be seen as a miracle, too.

Zaman let us use simple logic here:

AIDS is contracted a) sexually b) sharing needles c) contact with blood with an open wound

Now let us say that a man gets circumcised at birth and he gets a cut as an adult. Let us then add that he accidentally touch a sample of blood at a hospital (perhaps doing lab work). The blood that he touched is an AIDs patient. He can still contract AIDS even if he is circumcised and even if he never had sexual contact with anyone ( be it male or female). Simple as that. The argumentand/or survey is weak because it is not enough demonstrative proofs.

I work at a hospital and I know (not from experience nor through empirical contact) that may circumcised patients have HIV not AIDS but HIV AIDS is the latter form of HIV. The only way to prevent both is two things: Abstionence and using condoms or forms of contraceptives. If circumsicion prevents that type of STD then condoms would not be widely endorsed. So Zaman I don't think posting that article benefits anyone. If you ask me its an endorsement of sexual intercourse with a dirty person be it Muslim or non-Muslim.

There was a misunderstanding from my side. I thought prevention means restriction or curtailment and not eradication. My point was circumcision restricts the AIDS epidemic to some extent.
