Seriously, this sounds like one of the beginnings of a joke about jews.

Who would've thought though?
Uncircumcised men are thought to be more susceptible because the underside of the foreskin is rich in Langerhans cells, sentinel cells of the immune system, which attach easily to the human immunodeficiency virus, which causes AIDS. The foreskin also often suffers small tears during intercourse.
But experts also cautioned that circumcision is no cure-all. It only lessens the chances that a man will catch the virus; it is expensive compared to condoms, abstinence or other methods; and the surgery has serious risks if performed by folk healers using dirty blades, as often happens in rural Africa. - source

One wonders whether there will be an upsurge in US Homosexuals to have this operation.
I had it done when I was 10 days old, as I recall it did not hurt in the slightest, heh heh.

Unfortunately, as the article stated in the very begining, this is only applicable to heterosexual sex.
 
Why in the world would any adult man choose to get circumcised? I wouldn't care if it would help me to live to be 200. Ow...
 
LOL I think an uncircumsized wee wee is ugly.
 
There are other caveats as well: The study did not look at male-to-female transmission, and it was also not clear whether circumcision makes it less likely that gay men could transmit HIV to each other.
