I would suggest people read Dr. Peter Duesbergs research on AIDS before getting too eager for the knife. HIV is not the same as AIDS. But even so, it is advisable to use the condom as there are other germs and viruses out there that require protection.
I know we discussed this before, but I thought this article was interesting. It certainly seems to support recent European studies. But, as usual the US is always interested in abstinence.Read the whole article from the NY Times. Key quote:
"The most striking studies suggest that men can lower their own risk of infection by roughly two-thirds, and that infected men can reduce the odds of transmitting the virus to their partners by about 30 percent, simply by undergoing circumcision. Research suggests that the cells on the underside of the foreskin are prime targets for the virus and that tears and abrasions in the foreskin can invite the infection."

great follow-up and on my birthday too!
In my opinion, a circumcized penis is more attractive and cleaner anyway.
