I am planning on putting up a link to my research paper. I just need to figure out how to make a hyperlink that'll get into my public folder in UMDrive.
Good luck next semester,

AIDS and Circumcision
FROM: NY TIMES

The World Health Organization officially announced circumcision as a way to help prevent AIDS. It was found in some African nations to have reduced the risk of infection in males by 60%. The sad part about this is that the men who live in these countries seem to think that because they get circumcised that they are now immune to AIDS. I understand that the foreskin is an area that males who are not circumcised need to make sure that they clean because it is easily infected due to the build-up of bacteria, however, I do not get how removing it helps prevent aids. The only part that makes sense is in the last paragraph where it states that durring heterosexual intercourse that the foreskin can tear or rip, which leaves an open invitation to the bloodstream. The only thing that I can make of this is that if you can remove that possiblility then the reduced rates may be produced.
