    Cost-effec­ti­ve­ness of male cir­cumcisi­on for HIV pre­ven­ti­on in a South African setting 

    Consistent with obser­va­tio­nal stu­dies, a ran­do­mi­zed con­trol­led inter­ven­ti­on tri­al of adult male cir­cumcisi­on (MC) con­duc­ted in the gene­ral popu­la­ti­on in Orange Farm (OF) (Gauteng Province, South Africa) 

    (…) Conclusions: In set­tings in sub-Saharan Africa with high or mode­ra­te HIV pre­va­lence among the gene­ral popu­la­ti­on, adult MC is likely to be a cost-effec­ti­ve HIV pre­ven­ti­on stra­te­gy, even when it has a low coverage. MC gene­ra­tes lar­ge net savings after adjus­t­ment for aver­ted HIV medi­cal costs.

    Bill Gates hel­ps fund mass cir­cumcisi­on programme 

    Microsoft foun­der Bill Gates last week injec­ted $50 mil­li­on into a pro­gram­me to cir­cumcise up to 650,000 men in Swaziland and Zambia. 

    The goal of the pro­ject is to curb the trans­mis­si­on of HIV in two of the AIDS hot­spots of the world, as cir­cumcisi­on has been shown to more than hal­ve the risk of men beco­m­ing infected. 

    Funded for five years through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the pro­gram­me is the first to mas­si­ve­ly sca­le up pro­vi­si­on of circumcision (…)

    International part­ners call for acce­le­ra­ted access to vol­un­ta­ry medi­cal male cir­cumcisi­on in eas­tern and sou­thern Africa 

    The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) today laun­ched a five-year action frame­work to acce­le­ra­te the sca­le-up of vol­un­ta­ry medi­cal male cir­cumcisi­on (VMMC) for HIV pre­ven­ti­on. The framework—developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), UNAIDS, PEFPAR, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Bank in con­sul­ta­ti­on with natio­nal Ministries of Health—calls for the immedia­te roll-out and expan­si­on of VMMC ser­vices in 14 prio­ri­ty coun­tries of eas­tern and sou­thern Africa.

    Aktivisten for­dern sofor­ti­gen Stopp von Jungen-Beschneidung in Afrika 

    (…) "Wie kann das sein? Meine Volksgruppe beschnei­det ihre Kinder und ihre Männer, Muslime beschnei­den ihre Kinder und trotz­dem ster­ben sie an AIDS", sag­te Maloba (…) Die Weltgesundheitsorganisation und das UN-Programm UNAIDS sehen das anders. Die WHO ver­weist auf ihrer Homepage auf Studien. Beschnitte Männer haben dem­nach ein weit­aus gerin­ge­res Risiko, HIV zu bekom­men. Um bis zu 60 Prozent soll es durch die Beschneidung sin­ken. Nach Plänen der WHO sol­len 90 Prozent aller afri­ka­ni­schen Männer zwi­schen 20 und 29 Jahren bis 2021 beschnit­ten wor­den sein. Auch Microsoft-Gründer Bill Gates unter­stützt die Kampagnen. Es sei "eine rie­si­ge Herausforderung, die sich aber loh­ne", sag­te Gates auf der inter­na­tio­na­len AIDS-Konferenz im süd­afri­ka­ni­schen Durban letz­tes Jahr. (…)

    Verstümmelungen an Kindern als Form von "Entwicklungshilfe" und "HIV-Prävention"

    (…) Seit über zehn Jahren spü­len west­li­che staat­li­che und nicht­staat­li­che Hilfsorganisationen wie USAID und die Bill-and-Melinda-Gates-Stiftung enor­me Gelder in afri­ka­ni­sche Länder, die expli­zit dafür vor­ge­se­hen sind, mög­lichst vie­le männ­li­che Afrikaner einer Vorhautamputation ("Beschneidung") zu unter­zie­hen. In Radiosendungen und auf Plakaten wird für die­se Maßnahme gewor­ben. Dort heißt es: "Stand proud. Get cir­cumcis­ed!" Taxifahrer ver­tei­len Flyer und erhal­ten Prämien bei erfolg­rei­cher Vermittlung. Da die anvi­sier­ten Quoten mit der blo­ßen Anwerbung von erwach­se­nen Männern nicht erfüllt wer­den, wen­den sich die Programme zuneh­mend an Eltern von Jungen und männ­li­chen Säuglingen und holen mit fal­schen Versprechungen deren Unterschrift ein. UNICEF nimmt in Informationsmaterialien wer­den­de Mütter ins Visier: EIMC (Early infant male cir­cumcisi­on) sei ein klei­ner unkom­pli­zier­ter Eingriff und bie­te für neu­ge­bo­re­ne Jungen vie­le lebens­lan­ge Vorteile. Oftmals, wie uns berich­tet wird, fällt aber auch der "Umweg" über die Eltern gleich ganz weg: in Schulen wer­den nur die Schulleiter infor­miert, die Kinder mit Süßigkeiten und Softdrinks ange­lockt. Es wird ihnen erzählt, sie sei­en "anschlie­ßend" sicher vor HIV. Ganz beson­ders gefähr­det sind Waisen. (…) nie­mand konn­te je begrün­den, war­um die Gefahr der Übertragung sexu­ell über­trag­ba­rer Krankheiten eine Rechtfertigung sein könn­te, sexu­ell nicht akti­ve Jungen zwangs­zu­be­schnei­den. Auch wur­de nie das Geheimnis gelüf­tet, war­um aus­schließ­lich männ­li­che Genitalschleimhäute Übertragungswege für Viren bie­ten soll­ten und es ethisch akzep­ta­bel sein kön­ne, voll­stän­di­ge männ­li­che Genitalien als krank­heits­aus­lö­sen­de Gefahr, Männer und Eltern, die sich der Propaganda wider­set­zen, als gera­de­zu ver­ant­wor­tungs­los zu dis­kri­mi­nie­ren. (…) Die jüdisch-US-ame­ri­ka­ni­sche Journalistin Max Fish, Mitbegründerin des VVMC-Experience-Projects kon­sta­tier­te in Berlin: "Die heu­ti­gen Beschneidungskampagnen sind zutiefst ras­sis­tisch: die Vorstellung, Verhaltensinterventionen wie Kondomnutzung und Treue reich­ten nicht aus für die Menschen in Afrika, die Vor­stellung, afri­ka­ni­sche Sexualität brau­che eine 'end­gül­ti­ge­re' Lösung." (…)

      Improvement of In Vivo Expression of Genes Delivered by Self-Amplifying RNA Using Vaccinia Virus Immune Evasion Proteins 

      Tim Beissert, Lars Koste, Mario Perkovic, Kerstin C. Walzer, Stephanie Erbar, Abderraouf Selmi, Mustafa Diken, Sebastian Kreiter, Özlem Türeci, and Ugur Sahin

      Abstract

      Among nucleic acid–based deli­very plat­forms, self-ampli­fy­ing RNA (saRNA) vec­tors are of incre­a­sing inte­rest for app­li­ca­ti­ons such as tran­si­ent expres­si­on of recom­bi­nant pro­te­ins and vac­ci­na­ti­on. saRNA is safe and, due to its capa­bi­li­ty to ampli­fy intracel­lu­lar­ly, high pro­te­in levels can be pro­du­ced from even minu­te amounts of trans­fec­ted templates. (…) 

      Material and Methods
      Cell culture 

      All growth media, fetal calf serum (FCS), anti­bio­tics, and other sup­ple­ments were sup­plied by Life Technologies/Gibco, except when sta­ted other­wi­se. Human fores­kin fibro­blasts obtai­ned from System Bioscience (HFF, neo­na­tal) or ATCC (CCD-1079Sk) were cultivated (…) 

      BHK21 cells and human fores­kin fibro­blasts (HFF) were lip­ofec­ted with GFP-repor­ter-enco­ding saRNA. Total RNA amounts were adjus­ted to 2.5 μg using irrele­vant infra­red fluo­re­scent pro­te­in (iRFP) and luci­fera­se enco­ding mRNA. (…) 

      HFF were elec­tro­po­ra­ted with 2.5 μg of GFP-saRNA RNA and in total 2 μg of in-vitro tran­scri­bed mRNA enco­ding VACV pro­te­ins E3, K3, or B18 or com­bi­na­ti­ons the­re­of: E3 and K3 (EK) or all three (EKB). Each sam­ple was in addi­ti­on spik­ed with 2.5 μg of iRFP-mRNA to con­trol suc­cess of elec­tro­po­ra­ti­ons. Controls (ctr) were GFP-saRNA RNA spik­ed with 2.5 μg of iRFP-mRNA. (…) 

      Transfer of GFP saRNA into HFF cells stron­gly indu­ced IFN‑β and OAS1, the lat­ter being a key IFN-respon­se gene invol­ved in viral RNA degra­dati­on (Fig. 2C and D). E3 mRNA co-trans­fec­tion robust­ly redu­ced IFN‑β induc­tion by appro­xi­mate­ly 90%. K3 and B18 redu­ced IFN‑β tran­script levels by >60%. Co-trans­fec­tion of all three mRNAs had the stron­gest effect in redu­cing IFN‑β induc­tion by 95% (Fig. 2C). (…)

    New model­ling shows COVID-19 should not be a rea­son for delay­ing the 2030 dead­line for ending AIDS as a public health threat

    Data repor­ted to UNAIDS by coun­tries have been used to pro­ject the poten­ti­al impact of the COVID-19 pan­de­mic on the glo­bal HIV respon­se over the next five years. Several sce­n­a­ri­os with dif­fe­rent dura­ti­ons of ser­vice dis­rup­ti­ons of bet­ween three mon­ths and two years were modelled. 

    The dis­rup­ti­ons inclu­ded: (a) a rate of incre­a­se in HIV tre­at­ment half the pre-COVID-19 rate; (b) no vol­un­ta­ry medi­cal male cir­cumcisi­on; © 20% com­ple­te dis­rup­ti­on of ser­vices to pre­vent ver­ti­cal trans­mis­si­on; and (d) no pre-expo­sure pro­phy­la­xis sca­le-up. An important assump­ti­on across all the sce­n­a­ri­os was that the cur­rent rese­arch pipe­line would gene­ra­te one or more safe and effec­ti­ve COVID-19 vac­ci­nes, and that the world will suc­ceed in rol­ling out vac­ci­nes globally. (…)

    Circumcision a racist expe­ri­ment: Study

    A CRITICAL app­rai­sal has dis­mis­sed World Health Organisation (WHO)-recommended cam­pai­gns to cir­cumcise mil­li­ons of African boys and men to redu­ce HIV trans­mis­si­on as mere sys­temic racism and “neo-colo­nia­lism” than sound sci­en­ti­fic research. 

    Published in the Developing World Bioethics, the stu­dy was con­duc­ted by VMMC Experience Project along with other legal and medi­cal experts from the United Kingdom, United States, Cameroon, Zimbabwe and South Africa. 

    It exami­ned the histo­ry and poli­tics of the­se cir­cumcisi­on cam­pai­gns in the con­text of race and colo­nia­lism and found that they had been star­ted in has­te and without suf­fi­ci­ent con­tex­tu­al research. (…) 

    In 2007, WHO and UNAids recom­men­ded vol­un­ta­ry medi­cal male cir­cumcisi­on (VMMC) as cri­ti­cal in redu­cing the risk of sexu­al trans­mis­si­on of HIV from fema­les to males by 60%.
    This per­cen­ta­ge has, howe­ver, been dis­pu­ted over the years and to date no con­clu­si­ve data has been found to vali­da­te the claims. (…)

    Male cir­cumcisi­on cam­pai­gns to redu­ce HIV trans­mis­si­on in Africa are based on sys­temic racism

    (…) Max Fish, lead aut­hor and foun­der of the VMMC Experience Project, a grass­roots effort to ele­va­te African voices about the effects of the cam­pai­gns on their lives, said: "There has been a glo­bal spot­light on sys­temic racism–and racist institutions–following the death of George Floyd, an African American man, at the hands of a White poli­ce offi­cer in May. However, unethi­cal human expe­ri­men­ta­ti­on on Africans and African Americans remains a per­va­si­ve pro­blem in Western medi­ci­ne that has recei­ved rela­tively litt­le attention." 

    "Africa was tar­ge­ted, and it is still being tar­ge­ted," said Cleophas Matete, a Kenyan bishop inter­view­ed by the VMMC Experience Project, who is quo­ted in the stu­dy. "It is used as a con­ti­nent to expe­ri­ment. Should they intro­du­ce anything that is [moral­ly ques­tion­ab­le], they want to expe­ri­ment in Africa. So I belie­ve that the ent­i­re pro­cess of try­ing to test it in Africa was wrong from the begin­ning, and I say no to it." 

    There has been a long histo­ry of unethi­cal medi­cal rese­arch con­duc­ted on Africans and African Americans, inclu­ding the infa­mous "Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male," in which African American syphi­lis pati­ents living in rural pover­ty were obser­ved but not trea­ted, lea­ding to suf­fe­ring, the spread of infec­tion and widespread death (…)

    Shang Ring Crcumcision 

    Advances in cir­cumcisi­on sur­ge­ry have sta­gna­ted in recent deca­des. Ten years ago howe­ver, a land­mark medi­cal publi­ca­ti­on show­ed that cir­cumcisi­on stron­gly redu­ced the risk of HIV trans­mis­si­on in male par­ti­ci­pants of a cli­ni­cal stu­dy, genera­ting rene­wed inte­rest in cir­cumcisi­on by the World Health Organisation and health offi­cials world­wi­de. Realising that cir­cumcisi­on may help con­tain the HIV/AIDS epi­de­mic in high-pre­va­lence are­as such as in Africa, rese­ar­chers sought to find newer ways to per­form cir­cumcisi­on that are more con­ve­ni­ent for men and that are more likely to achie­ve high upt­a­ke. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation fun­ded rese­arch to crea­te the Shang Ring, a new cir­cumcisi­on device that fits this pur­po­se.
