Answer 1

Many of the studies that originally found that circumcision would reduce AIDS/HIV were biased, inaccurate, and only done in Africa, which is completely different then the US or Europe:
http://www.circumstitions.com/HIV.html

A study that was just announced yesterday on MSNBC and Reuters found that a study in the United States found that circumcision does not protect American men and women from HIV or AIDS:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22096758/

Check out HIV statistics:
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2155rank.html

As you can see, the United States (the industrialized nation with the highest circumcision rate, has the highest HIV rate). Most of Europe and Latin America (who don't circumcise) have lower rates.

In addition, another medical study found that prostitution, not circumcision (specifically mentioned in the conclusion) is what spreads HIV that much; that makes sense.

Circumcision has become less common. Circumcision rates were as high as 90% back in the 1960s and 1970s (that's partly why today's adults are so... brainwashed, I supposed you could say, about thinking that circumcision is better) but they have fallen to as low as 14% in some states. Here are the statistics:
http://www.cirp.org/library/statistics/USA/staterates2004/

The USA is the last developed nation doing it to a large number of newborns without religious or medical needs. (Europeans, Latin Americans, Japanese, and most Australians, Canadians, and Asians don't circumcise):

In a medical study, it was found that females are more likely to hit orgasm with an uncircumcised man:
http://www.healthcentral.com/drdean/408/60750.html

The lubricated foreskin (on the inside... like your eyelids) slides up and down during sex and masturbation to stimulate the head (which is why you don't hear of uncircumcised guys needing lube to masturbate).

Studies have found that circumcision reduces sensitivity (this article also mentions how it has lost popularity in the USA in recent times):
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,285532,00.html

And despite being more sensitive, uncircumcised guys still last in the same six minute range (average) that circumcised guys do:
http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1743-6109.2005.00070.x

Circumcision makes masturbation more difficult:
http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1464-410X.2006.06646.x

Which makes sense, that's how circumcision was promoted in the USA:

Increases erectile dysfunction rates:

If too much skin is removed in circumcision, it can make the penis smaller since the penis needs some skin to expand during an erection:

http://www.altermd.com/Penis%20and%20Scrotal%20Surgery/buried_penis.htm

Circumcision does not completely stop penile cancer. The American Cancer Society has already confirmed the myth that circumcision = no cancer.
http://www.cancer.org/docroot/CRI/content/CRI_2_4_2X_Can_penile_cancer_be_prevented_35.asp

If circumcision did stop penile cancer, then penile cancer would not be more common in the USA (most circumcised adults) than in some European nations, where circumcision is not practiced other than for medical/religious reasons.

Answer 2

That is an anti-circumcision web site. If you go to a pro -circumcision web site you will find an opposing viewpoint and they too will quote research to justify their position. You can also go to The World Health Organisation and see what they have to say.

Answer 3

Like all parts of the body, the foreskin serves a purpose. At present, approximately 17 functions are known. The link I provided lists some known functions, bear in mind that we may not yet have the complete list.

The foreskin protects and lubricates the glans (head) of the penis. It also maintains sexual sensitivity.

Safe sex is immeasurably more effective at preventing HIV transmission. Bear in mind that religion wields a powerful influence in some cultures.

Answer 4

nothing will protect you from aids 100%, except abstinance. and circumcision or no, it doesnt matter, you will have the same chance to get aids if you have sex...

Answer 5

A website that has one screwed up doctor! Lets see Fliess is a convicted felon and never really went to medical school, but went through a loophole in the 50's to get his medical license with his minimal medical schooling! He is a total quack!

BioEssays. 2007 Oct 12;29(11):1147-1158

Why circumcision is a biomedical imperative for the 21(st) century.

School of Medical Sciences and Bosch Institute, Building F13, The
University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales 2006, Australia.

Circumcision of males represents a surgical "vaccine" against a wide
variety of infections, adverse medical conditions and potentially
fatal diseases over their lifetime, and also protects their sexual
partners. In experienced hands, this common, inexpensive procedure is
very safe, can be pain-free and can be performed at any age. The
benefits vastly outweigh risks. The enormous public health benefits
include protection from urinary tract infections, sexually transmitted
HIV, HPV, syphilis and chancroid, penile and prostate cancer,
phimosis, thrush, and inflammatory dermatoses. In women circumcision
of the male partner provides substantial protection from cervical
cancer and chlamydia. Circumcision has socio-sexual benefits and
reduces sexual problems with age. It has no adverse effect on penile
sensitivity, function, or sensation during sexual arousal. Most women
prefer the circumcised penis for appearance, hygiene and sex. Given
the convincing epidemiological evidence and biological support,
routine circumcision should be highly recommended by all health
professionals.
