In the interests of teasing a thread jack, it should be pointed out that there are multiple studies, including randomized trials, that support the idea that, at least on a population scale, circumcised men are less likely to get HIV.
Though it should be noted that these studies were carried out in populations with a much greater prevalence of HIV than the U.S. and so the "protection" seen in circumcised men might not amount to much over here.
Given the fact that circumcision doesn't really offer that much protection from HIV, and also that there doesn't seem to be a lot of evidence that circumcision affects transmission rates of other STDs (I'm just assuming here, sue me), using circumcision as part of a personal plan for avoiding STDs while having unprotected sex seems like a bad idea.
