What would you like to have said? Maybe I can throw in the recommendations from the jint WHO / UNAIDS statement?

"Recommendations :
1.1 Male circumcision should now be recognized as an efficacious intervention for HIV prevention.
1.2 Promoting male circumcision should be recognized as an additional, important strategy for the prevention of heterosexually acquired HIV infection in men."
