Steroids use has been a controversial issue since their introduction in world of sports, almost five decades
ago. The history of muscle construction of steroids is as old as the origin of Olympic Games. At this present time, you will come across some one who is using anabolic steroids or enhancement supplement while going to the gym or sports complex.

For the past fifty years, athletes from all over the world are using steroids to gain muscle mass, and along with continues exercise they try to achieve the desired results.
Anabolic steroids are made on the same formulation as male hormone testosterone. This class of drug is legally available, but to buy steroid, prescription is required. The medical use of drug is to minimize the loss of muscle mass due to some deadly diseases such as cancer and AIDS.
Use of anabolic steroids is illicit without the presence of any medical condition and ban has already been imposed by major sports organizations on its usage.

Still, few athletes are kept on using it illegally despite of the fact that using anabolic steroids, in this way, can cause many serious health issues.

Three newly conducted studies strengthen the evidence that a minor procedure of circumcision protects men against deadly AIDS virus and the sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer in women.
Dr. Bertran Auvert and his colleagues examined more than 1,200 men visiting a clinic in South Africa.
They found that, less than 15 percent of circumcised males and 22 percent of uncircumcised men were infected and the carrier of HPV, which is the main cause of cervical cancer and genital warts in females.

Radiation therapy or radiotherapy now can be used, safely to treat prostrate cancer in men suffering from AIDS, without any long-term adverse effect on CD4+ cell count or in the severity of viral infection. A small study suggested.
While treating patient of prostrate cancer with radiotherapy, it’s out of question to put HIV-infected patients on different machine than their HIV-negative counterpart, lead researcher Dr. Anthony M. Berson, from St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York, and colleagues said.
The study was published in the November issue of Urology. In the study 14 HIV-infected patients with prostate cancer were included which have undergone the treatment with external beam radiotherapy or brachytherapy or both. PSA level, CD4+ cell count, and intensity of viral infection were evaluated at baseline and again at latest follow-up, which ranged from 8 to 73 months.
