Cornel, The HIV infection rates do indeed appear to be different.
There appears to be a 9 fold difference in the viral load between circumcised and un-circumcised glans. Also, tearing of the frenulum during coitus may provide access to the virus.

After all, contraception and any sexual act for other than procreation is a sin. So are any homosexual acts, which are considered a depravity. When will theologians start reading basic biology?

Naturally, I ascertained that this was not some kind of April Fools joke. But the story I think arises from Clinton's recent 'discovery' in his HIV prevention work. Do you know anything about this story? Surely, condom use must help even circumcised blokes!
