1. Girls, too? Do I need a condom?

    Do the microbes that live under the male foreskin also live under its analogue, the clitoral hood? If so, would removing the clitoral hoods of girls, as well as the foreskins of boys, double the chances of preventing HIV?

    If my foreskin is removed and I am HIV positive, do my female partner and I no longer need to worry about condoms? Will my circumcision make unprotected intervaginal ejaculation safe for her vis-a-vis contracting HIV from me?
