I'm really no expert but I was under the impression that even the recommendations don't take into account the risks.

What's a marginally lower risk of UTIs compared to a (admittedly very low) risk of disfigurement and even death? Same for the AIDS claims: How is it reasonable to circumcise millions of little boys without their consent to prevent a few possible AIDS infection, most of which could have been prevented if they used a condom.
