Unfortunately this study does not take into consideration some socioeconomic factors that plague African nations - the very ones who have the high incidences of AIDS and the very ones who were studies. Circumcised men in this region have better access to cleaner standards of living as they have the economic stature to elect circumcision.
With that said, it's true that the men with foreskin are at higher risk, but the post earlier where they stated that circumcision is like cutting off women's breast to avoid breast cancer is a good point.
Finally, consider this. If they circumcised all the men in Africa, I guarantee you that the AIDS rate will still be higher and that it will continue to outpace the rest of the world's.
AIDS is not a cut/uncut debate - it's one of ignorance and/or irresponsible behavior.
