It does not This is a theory that was put forward leading to mass circumcision in Africa. it later transpired that there was a massive HIV increase in those that that were circumcised. There is no evidence that circumcision can reduce any STD aside from a yeast infection and that is easily handled with antibiotics.
The theory is that the foreskin can harbor bodily fluids containing the virus, allowing the virus to survive longer, until it can enter the skin via the glans or through the urethra.
Urinating and washing up after sex, however, prevents this immediately; more importantly, a condom will prevent any virus from being on the penis at all.
The idea however that a baby can be protected from STD,s seems a bit strange though.
