But findings from prevention-related scientific studies undertaken during the last decade are in conflict. Some show that recommending condom use is unreliable, both because people (such as men and women wanting to have babies) won't use them and because users find that they slip off, break, or leak. Some show that male circumcision can reduce the rate of HIV infection. Others show that simply washing genitals and other involved body parts is enough to reduce HIV infections as well as immunity-weakening bacterial STDs. So who is to decide what "science" calls for?
