What I'm about to mention here is not only a scientific acceptance of a fact taught in Abrahimic traditions, but also a strong source for the uplift of our faith, so spend a few mins to read when you can. Some of you may have found it on net already as it's not too recent.

I am pleased to be finally able to get an opportunity to persue further my special interest in Gynae sub-specialty i.e. sexual health-and the effects which its abuse could cause to general health, mental health, family unit 'n a society as a whole-which is the topic of my present ongoing research project' the silver ring' as well (you may be interested to know that the idea of the title comes from president George Bush-who is an evengelist and has funded a similar project in U.S. with $1,000,000-it wud be another discussion what else is he doing..) Recently my project has received a lot of applause and encouragement from my senior professors for which I am thankful to them; as indeed such support matters.

As I browsed through some recent work on 'prevention of HIV/AIDs and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) I noticed that the prevention tips have been classified alphabetically, (using A for Avoidance, B for Being Faithful 'n so on) C has been used for two preventive tips. One is Condomn and guess what the other for....yes

Circumcision. Although it has been mentioned in certain theories about female genital tract cancers' prevention, but was not mentioned as an accepted preventive tip for STI (sexually transmitted infections) in the past until a reasonable amount of study has been done-the trial was abondened as the success rate of circumcision in the prevention immediately rose to 63% and it was stopped with the fear that the positive effects of circumcision in the prevention might be misused and relied on too much, preventing the use of other preventive measures. (Auvert.B, Puren A, Taljaard Diet al Impact of male circumcision on the female to male transmission of HIV)

I believe that it is not only a scientific acceptance of a fact taught in Abrahimic traditions, but also a strong source for the uplift of our faith.
