"The American Urological Association, Inc.® (AUA) considers injection of fat cells for increasing penile girth (width) to be a procedure which has not been shown to be safe or effective.
The AUA also considers the cutting of the suspensory ligament of the penis for increasing penile length in adults to be a procedure that has not been shown to be safe or effective."

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of HIV-1 infection and to
identify the most important risk factors for infection. DESIGN:
A cross-sectional population survey carried out in 1990 and 1991
in Mwanza Region, Tanzania. METHODS: Adults aged 15-54 years were
selected from the region (population, 2 million) by stratified random
cluster sampling: 2434 from 20 rural villages, 1157 from 20 roadside
settlements and 1554 from 20 urban wards. Risk factor information
was obtained from interviews. All sera were tested for HIV-1 antibodies
using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); sera non-negative
on ELISA were also tested by Western blot. RESULTS: The response
rate was 81%. HIV-1 infection was 1.5 times more common in women
than in men; 2.5% of the adult population in rural villages, 7.3%
in roadside settlements and 11.8% in town were infected. HIV-1 infection
occurred mostly in women aged 15-34 years and men aged 25-44 years.
It was associated with being separated or widowed, multiple sex
partners, presence of syphilis antibodies, history of genital discharge
or genital ulcer, travel to Mwanza town, and receiving injections
during the previous 12 months, but not with male circumcision. CONCLUSION:
This study confirms that HIV-1 infection in this region in East
Africa is more common in women than in men. The results are consistent
with the spread of HIV-1 infection along the main roads. There is
no evidence that lack of circumcision is a risk factor in this population.
