Spain Doctor Rebuilds Penises Cut Off for AIDS Cure

MADRID (Reuters) - Two Kenyan boys whose penises were cut off to be sold for making anti-AIDS  potions have had them reconstructed in Spain, the doctor treating them said.

The adolescent boys, from a remote region near the border with Uganda, were mutilated after being given drugged food or drink by strangers.

"They had attacked them to cut off their penises to sell ... for making a type of potion which according to a local belief cures AIDS," Doctor Pedro Cavadas, from the Levante Rehabilitation Center told radio station Cadena Ser.

One of the boys also lost an ear trying to fend off his attackers after regaining consciousness during the mutilation.

"It seems that the dose of medication that they gave him to knock him out ... was badly calculated, and so he woke up in the middle of the attack," Cavadas said.

"He then tried to defend himself and because of this has a lot more injuries."

Cavadas runs a foundation that carries out all types of reconstructive surgery in Kenya.

The foundation's Web site said two people had been arrested in connection with penis mutilation, although it was not clear if they were linked to the attacks on the 12 and 14-year-old boys.

"The practice of mutilating the penises of virgin boys is not a tradition among Kenyan tribes. The object of this mutilation was to make a potion to cure HIV/AIDS," the Web site said.

Cavadas, who noted this type of attack was rare in Kenya, said the boys had been transformed by their surgery.

"They are fantastic, happy, their faces have changed and their lives have changed. They don't have to use a catheter ... and they can live like children, messing around and being naughty."

Dying of AIDS v drinking a cock potion. That is a tossup.

Emphasis mine...  I'm pretty sure I don't wanna know what Pedro means by this.

Haha, yeah that's what you call an ethical quandary.  Does the AIDS patient know that a child is having his penis removed, just so that Mr/Mrs AIDS can have a second chance?  Of course, if you are stupid enough to think a penis potion will heal AIDS, you may well be the sort of mouth breather who does not consider where the penis comes from.

In other news, I'm finding it difficult to pity our post-Y2K HIV-positive community, many of whom seem to think it's cool to infect each other since it can be treated.  Nevermind that it costs tens of thousands of dollars a year to keep your average HIV-positive sex addict going strong.  Meanwhile, the entire health care system is in a crisis with spiralling costs.  Can we say "selfish unethical pricks" anyone?

I've just never understood how, under normal circumstances, someone gets the HIV by "accident". Felt like having a one-night stand? Too lazy to get tested or at least use a condom? Tough shit I say; Stop leeching our HMO's and let people who actually need the money get it, kthx.

Stupid foreigners.  Penises cause HIV.  They don't cure it.  Duh.
