Male circumcision to fight HIV is just another myth. If you are going to be polygamous with several dozen partners at a time and not use condoms, Male circumcision is not going to make much difference.

Actually, as a principle, it is not.

Microtears in the foreskin are prime mechanism for transmitting the virus during heterosexual sex. (Granted polygamy is never a good idea.)

Kind of the same reason there is so much more HIV transmission in the male homosexual community. Microtears of other, shall we say, delicate tissues....
