Ugandan president rejects circumcision/HIV study (Reuters)

Friday, 22 December 2006

HIV/AIDS patients lie on a bed at the National Institute of Tropical Medicines, a hospice for HIV/AIDS patients, in Hanoi, in this May 6, 2005 file photo. Vietnam's epidemic is less advanced than its Southeast Asian neighbours Cambodia and Thailand, but the United Nations estimates there are at least 280,000 HIV infections in a population of 84 million. On January 1, 2007, a new law comes into effect that experts say is a broad policy framework for HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment in underdeveloped Vietnam. The law strengthens the rights of people with HIV, calls for AIDS education in the workplace and HIV medicines to be included in health plans. (Kham/Files/Reuters)Reuters - Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has condemned a new study showing that male circumcision reduces the risk of HIV infection during sex, saying it sent out a dangerous message.
