Foreskin Acts as AIDS MagnetForeskin Acts as AIDS MagnetFinding May Explain Why Uncircumcised Men More Likely to Get HIV By <a href="http://www.webmd.com/daniel-j-denoon" target="_blank">Daniel J. DeNoon</a>WebMD Health News  Dec. 22, 2003 -- The foreskin of the penis is a magnet for <a href="http://www.webmd.com/hiv-aids/default.htm" target="_blank">HIV</a>, British researchers report. Uncircumcised men are at higher risk of getting the <a href="http://www.webmd.com/hiv-aids/default.htm" target="_blank">AIDS</a> virus during sex than men who have had their foreskins removed. The new findings offer an explanation. Elizabeth  J. Soilleux, PhD, and Nicholas Coleman of the Hutchison/MRC Research  Center in Cambridge, England, performed detailed studies on nine normal  human foreskins. In each, they found cells  bearing the CD4 and CCR5 molecules that HIV loves to use as a doorway to  infection. But they found something else, as well: A molecule called  DC-SIGN. DC-SIGN is known to act as a chemical chaperone, capable of  picking up HIV and carrying it inside cells. "We  suggest that DC-SIGN may contribute to HIV transmission in the foreskin  by enabling the infection of permissive cells," Soilleux and Coleman  conclude. The researchers report their findings in the January issue of the Journal of Clinical Pathology. The  finding is just circumstantial evidence. It doesn't actually prove that  men with foreskins get HIV more easily. But studies of circumcised and  uncircumcised men show that circumcision cuts a man's risk of getting  the AIDS virus. Even so, many circumcised men DO get HIV infection from unsafe sex. Circumcision is no substitute for <a href="http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/Safe-Sex-Topic-Overview" target="_blank">safe sex</a>. <a href="http://www.webmd.com/hiv-aids/news/20031222/foreskin-acts-as-aids-magnet" target="_blank">http://www.webmd.com/hiv-aids/news/2...as-aids-magnet</a></blockquote>
