male circumcision and HIV

The NYT published an article today about how male circumcision reduces the risk of female-to-male HIV transmission by 40-60%.

This is pretty interesting. What's even more interesting is that I discovered a couple months ago that the social marketing NGO I'm partnering with (Society for Family Health, part of Population Services International) had been piloting male circumcision in Lusaka for several months already.
