Did the jews learn to fight HIV by hej2006-11-19 12:55:59
  It's bogus by Imp2005-08-04 11:44:07
    The article said you can still get it if you are by carthax2005-08-04 11:49:37
      The study was unscientific. by BloodyViking2005-08-04 11:55:43
        The exposure is "randomised", just by hej2005-08-04 11:59:47
          Clarification on the term "randomised study". by Pic2005-08-04 12:19:40
            How do you give a placebo circumsision? :) (n/t) by MikeCDN2005-08-04 12:25:52
              That is of course a problem, by Pic2005-08-04 12:35:10
                Are you kidding? by BloodyViking2005-08-04 12:42:55
                  The random factor there is sort of inevitable. by Pic2005-08-04 12:59:25
                    The best option I can think of, by BloodyViking 2005-08-04 13:10:18
would be to have the men collect an HIV testable sample from each of their partners, so the infection per exposure data would actually exist. Without it, this study is worse than useless.

As an aside, the fact that New Scientist prints crap studies like this is what leaves me with a Very low opinion of them. It is almost as though they are deliberately trying to make science/scientists look bad.

                      That would indeed be useful, by Pic2005-08-04 13:14:27
                        but statistically by MikeCDN2005-08-04 13:17:11
                          That's not really my point. by Pic2005-08-04 13:32:58
                        The sample is far from large enough by BloodyViking2005-08-04 13:22:17
                          Side thought by MikeCDN2005-08-04 13:29:51
                        That would invalidate the data. by Peace_man2005-08-04 13:40:42
                          Yeah, by Pic2005-08-04 13:46:18
                            I suspect this is just a 'quick and dirty' initial by Peace_man2005-08-04 15:19:54
