Yep fair points. I'm not saying it's the perfect solution to the HIV epidemic but it can work. There does, of course, still need to be heavy pressure on education and promotion of condoms for casual sex, but I do think people will still have sex unprotected. I think your ideas of achieving male/female equality and a shared sense of responsibility on an entire continent are far far harder to achieve than sexual education, in which circumcision can so easily play a part.
By the way, just out of curiosity, do you know the statistics for the HIV infection rate for vaginal sex, biologically? When I went for a check-up I asked the doctor and he was really vague it, so I went on the web and after searching for ages I came up with male-female 0.01%, female-male 0.001%, is this right?
