Basically now that people wear clothes the evolutionary reason for the foreskin isn't valid. And with circumcision you're less likely to get a urinary tract infection, std's, and some other infections.
No it does not prevent infection. In fact it doesn't even reduce infection because the study is flawed. See my post #28.

Studies have shown no difference in infection rates of stds in modern western countries. The major medical associations in UK, Canada and US do not recommend and/or discourage routine circumcision.
