Circumcision may turn out to be mankind's life buoy against the fatal HIV virus.
The snip dwindles the risk of infecting men with HIV by 60%, according to a survey held by the United Nations-backed Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
Circumcision will soon gain popularity among men worldwide, the experts predicted.
Scientists explain the shocking results with the removal of the skin of that intimate part of male's body. That leads to skin harshening of the penis, which makes the transmission of infections harder.
The results of another survey have shown that if most of the men in Africa get circumcised, that will save the life of six million.
The HIV virus has hit one in every three Africans, according to a World Health Organization (WHO) report.
At least three million Africans were infected over the last year alone. More than a half of them were young people under 30.
