(Old) Findings in Medicine

The Beeb reports,
New research suggests circumcision could be effective in preventing the spread of HIV among men. The study of more than 3,000 men in South Africa was done by the French agency for Aids and Viral Hepatitis. The data, outlined at a conference in Brazil, shows male circumcision prevented about seven of 10 infections. UN health agencies have cautioned that more trials are necessary before they will recommend this as a method to protect against Aids. Previous studies have suggested that men who are circumcised have a lower rate of HIV infection.
Full story here.

Old research shows that lifelong marriage of a man and a woman, both of whom were virgins upon marriage, is even more effective against AIDS and a host of other diseases.

And such behavior has the added bonus of being helpful in protecting the couple from effects vastly more deadly than AIDS.

For more important health tips, see Matthew 10:28 or Luke 12:5.

Have a nice day.

For these situations, I prefer John 8:1-7.

Dear Hired Hand:

John 8 is great, but why do you stop with verse 7? Jesus' most important AIDS-preventive advice to the woman caught in adultery appears in the last five words of verse 11.
