As someone who is also circumcised, you still have to wash your dick. The idea that it's somehow "cleaner" when you live in a country that has easy access to water and personal hygiene is just laughable. The "pros" for circumcision is highly exaggerated because if it really did help with things like HIV, you would think HIV rates would also be lower in places with more circumcision like North Africa. The simple fact is that even if there is any positive effects, it's extremely minimal. It's primarily a cosmetic or religious thing here in the states.

Anyone saying its cleaner is wrong, as long as everyone involved is washing. Its slightly harder to clean though and requires you to know the correct way to, which leads to more uncircumcised gross people failing to clean. Unfortunate but true.

HIV rates among people who are circumcised in Africa ARE lower than HIV rates among people who arent, in Africa. a higher rate of circumcision doesnt magically make them drop below other countries in terms of HIV rates.
