The United States has one of the highest rates of infant male circumcision http://www.cirp.org/library/statistics/USA/ and also one of the highest rates of HIV infection http://data.unaids.org/pub/GlobalReport/2006/2006GR-PrevalenceMap_en.pdf in the developed world, suggesting that circumcision is having exactly the opposite effect. Conversely, Finland and Japan http://www.circinfo.org/hiv.html#lies have some of the lowest rates of circumcision and also some of the lowest rates of HIV/AIDS.
