Studies now show that the best way to prevent the spread of AIDS is to be faithful to one's partner. No secret there. If you're partner is uninfected and so are you, then you're safe. If one has lots of partners, well, he will likely have relations with an infected person.
Circumcision is a suprise though. Seems that current studies show that circumcised men reduce male to female transmission by 60%-75%. I read about a study in Africa on this very issue and the researchers were so astounded by this discovery that they stopped the study and told the uncircumcised men to get a circumcision. They felt that continuing the study put people at risk because the prevention was so much greater.
