Most interesting point from this article:
Professor Murray goes on to point out that of the 854 Australians men diagnosed with HIV in 2006, only about 77, about 9%, were thought to have acquired it through heterosexual contact. While this is an increase since 2000 (62), a close look at the statistics reveal that the average age of HIV infection for these 77 men was 46, most of the increase (10) were in men 60 and over, and none of the men were younger than 24. The vast percentage of new infections therefore were in men of a generation that was already circumcised. :detective:
