It seems to be a reasonable method for limiting the rate of infection. Within African communities that are receiving foreign government aid, or even domestic aid, circumcision should probably be mandatory at birth. It has also been known that circumcised men are less likely to transmit HPV (which is linked to cervical cancer) to their partners, so again I ask, why "bullcrap"? It would be wonderful if education were more effective, but until it penetrates the cultural barrier significantly, I see no reason to shun more practical solutions.
