USAID Brief - Male circumcision and HIV prevention
USAID, August 2003.
|
The effect of male circumcision on risk of HIV infection - and the practice's impact on the spread of HIV across different populations - have for years been subjects of interest to epidemiologists and other researchers. Numerous studies have noted a decreased risk of infection in circumcised men as well as continued low HIV prevalence rates in populations that traditionally practice male circumcision.
HIV/AIDS and reproductive health programme professionals have become increasingly interested in male circumcision and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is now supporting preliminary activities to investigate male circumcision as a potential tool in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
