The reason circumcision is being used in Africa is due to the fact that cutting the penis is approved by various Christian (read Catholic) denominations. Condoms are not. When I read that the correlation between circumcision and reduced HIV rates, I see researchers trying to rationalize the act.
I think I know the reason for a correlation. When an adult male gets cut, it takes some time to heal. I'm guessing that the extreme pain of having that done deters sex...and reduced sex rates equals reduced AIDS.
By the way, I would never be in your herd to begin with.
