Description:
Voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) is the complete surgical removal of the foreskin as a one-time primary prevention intervention that reduces the risk of heterosexual transmission of HIV from women to men by 60 percent. It offers men substantial lifelong partial protection against the acquisition of HIV and a number of other sexually transmitted diseases. By preventing new HIV infections in men, male circumcision indirectly protects women. VMMC offers an excellent opportunity to bring men into health care, link HIV-positive men to treatment, and expand their access to the full range of clinical services
