You are correct, there is no need to push back a baby boy's foreskin when bathing him. As for circumcision this is only recommended for definite medical reasons such as repeated infections known as 'phymosis' or a small opening due to a tight foreskin that causes the baby to have difficulty in passing urine.The AIDs issue is not a factor in deciding about circumcison in infants. You have already mentioned the religious reasons.
