It's an old hypothesis.
The original research showed a similar level of reduction, but in a very small group of men.
The cells on the inside of the foreskin have an unusual characteristic that they have a very high affinity for virus particles - the justification being that it's something to do with an evolutionary imperative to educate the immune system about bad things as son as you put your knob in them.
Sadly because the immune system is the target of HIV/AIDS it is counterproductive in this case.
The theory goes that if you circumcise men you remove the target cells and reduce infective levels.
So it's good science, not bullshit.
