Even if circumcision affected HIV transmission rates, it is not an excuse to mutilate newborns. Improve availability of sexual health education and condoms. Or let people elect to get circumcised, should they choose to do so, when they are old enough to make that decision for themselves.
What you're advocating is mutilating the genitalia of a newborn child whose right to his own intact body you are denying at the ridiculous pretense that he might someday contract and spread HIV to someone else. You're saying that the child cannot be entrusted to make his own decisions regarding his sexual health and behaviour; that's a bullshit cop-out. You don't know what he will do. You are just half-assedly denying him the right and opportunity to decide for himself.
