I have heard that there is a lower chance of men contracting STDS, but I don't think that has been proven. My husband and I did have our son circumcised because he was a preemie and developed several UTIs while in the hospital and he is now 2 1/2 and has not had another one. I think it is less cruel to have it done than to have to have the doctor shove a catheter in him over and over like they did in the hospital.

The circumsicion referred to in the HIV campaign is a positive act to help the men keep their glans penis free of smegma. This secretion helps lots of dangerous bacteria to occupy the foreskin of the penis. In combinaion with the HIV virus these can turn fatal for the victim. Which is more cruel? A little suffering in the young days or life threatening infection to be invited through fear of small pain?

NO and circumcision is not cruel. The nurse feeds a sugar tit and the baby peacefully sucks on it during the whole procedure. I have done quite a few, but HIV does not enter the picture.
