    Bonnie J Morris, Brian J Morris et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2009References: 9

    We applaud Leibowitz et al. for describing the adverse impact on public health of the withdrawal by 16 states of Medicaid coverage for male circumcision.1 However, we are alarmed by a subsequent letter by anticircumcision lobbyists, in which the evidence regarding circumcision is thoroughly misrepresented.2 Their claims flatly contradict the bulk of the legitimate medical literature demonstrating that male circumcision protects against urinary tr…

    The largest investments in AIDS prevention targeted to the general population are being made in interventions where the evidence for large-scale impact is uncertain.

  • Uganda's HIV Prevention Success

    Open AccessEdward C Green, Daniel T Halperin et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2006

    There has been considerable interest in understanding what may have led to Uganda's dramatic decline in HIV prevalence, one of the world's earliest and most compelling AIDS prevention successes. Survey and other data suggest that a decline in multi-partner sexual behavior is the behavioral change most likely associated with HIV decline. It appears that behavior change programs, particularly involving extensive promotion of "zero grazing" (faithfu…

  • Heterosexual Anal Intercourse

    Daniel T HalperinARTICLEAIDS Patient Care and STDs1999

    Studies of heterosexual HIV transmission have consistently found anal intercourse to be a highly predictive risk factor for seroconversion. Yet most AIDS prevention messages targeted at heterosexuals, presumably influenced by cultural taboos against acknowledging this sexual practice, continue to emphasize vaginal and, increasingly, oral sex transmission. The health risks of anal sex appear to be severely underestimated by a substantial proportio…

  • A Delicate Science

    Open AccessDaniel Halperin, Daniel T HalperinARTICLEAnthropology & Humanism1996

    The increasing recognition of indigenous perspectives regarding religious practices such as shamanism and spirit possession offers a welcome respite from the excesses of scientific skepticism. Anthropologists may, however, become dogmatic in the opposite direction through accepting and even promoting at face value the officially presented "emic" view. At times, ritual practitioners themselves accuse one another of "faked possession" or exhibit ot…

  • Trance and Possession

    Open AccessDaniel Halperin, Daniel T HalperinARTICLETranscultural Psychiatric…1996Cited by: 5References: 21

    An argument is made for the unthreading of two separate, if commonly intertwined, elements of spirit possession prac tices. The term "trance-possession" is frequently employed to designate either of these concepts, implying that trance and possession are essentially synonymous in nature. Yet the psychophysiologically altered states of consciousness known as trance constitute something fundamentally different from cultural beliefs and practices co…

  • Memory and "Consciousness" in an Evolving Brazilian Possession Religion

    Open AccessDaniel Halperin, Daniel T HalperinARTICLEAnthropology of Consciousness1995Cited by: 6References: 8

    Participants in Northern Brazilian Tambor de Mina dance and spirit possession rituals demonstrate three principal discourses concerning memory and states of consciousness during possession. Most dancers claim, as "unconscious" mediums, to remember essentially nothing of their trance experiences. Many, however, speak of "faked" or incomplete forms of possession. In fact, my research eventually revealed that some experienced mediums and religious l…
