Abstract:

Magister Artium (Medical Anthropology) - MA(Med Ant)<br>This research study investigates Xhosa men’s perceptions of voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) in Khayelitsha township (Cape Town). It explored whether the introduction of VMMC as a state HIV-prevention strategy had engendered shifts in constructions of masculinity and negative perceptions of men who had undergone VMMC. Previously traditional male circumcision (ulwaluko) was the preferred form of circumcision among amaXhosa and medical male circumcision (MMC) was viewed as alien to Xhosa culture. Xhosa-speaking men who had undergo

Abstract:

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD<br>The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV (UNAIDS) strongly recommends that developing countries regard medical male circumcision as a biomedical intervention. This recommendation has caused developing countries seeking a radical solution to the prevailing and persistent social problem of HIV to reform their health policies. Most now discourage traditional male circumcision and promote safe medical male circumcision (SMMC) as a strong contributor to reductions in HIV transmission. This has introduced conflicts in traditional African societies such as the Bugisu, wh

Abstract:

Magister Public Health - MPH<br>Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) has been proven to reduce heterosexual HIV transmission to men by approximately 60%. It has been argued that achieving 80% circumcision coverage among males aged 15–49 years within five years and maintaining this coverage rate in subsequent years, could avert 3.4 million new HIV infections within 15 years and generate treatment and care savings of US$16.5 billion. As a result the South African Government plans to circumcise 4.3 million males aged 15 and 49 years by the 2015/2016 financial year. However, in the Western C

Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Background: Medical male circumcision (MMC) has emerged as one of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) prevention methods for HIV negative men engaged in heterosexual contact. Many studies have documented its efficiency in reducing the risk of contracting HIV infection in men. Because of that, Zimbabwe like other countries in the Southern Africa region, with generalised HIV infections is finding ways to scale-up MMC in non-circumcised communities. This study searched for knowledge, perceptions and attitudes of males in Bindu

Abstract:

Background: Medical Male Circumcision (MMC) reduces the risk of HIV-1 acquisition by up to 60% as shown in a number of randomized controlled trials in Uganda, Kenya and South Africa. MMC has also been shown to reduce the prevalence of other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) -2 and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) by 25% and 35% respectively. Asymptomatic STIs may elevate the risk of HIV-1 acquisition by recruiting HIV-1 target cells to the foreskin. The higher permeability of the inner foreskin may play a role in HIV-1 acquisition as well as the number of target

This study aimed at exploring the role of masculinities in MMC acceptance and specifically focused on circumcised men.

Zimbabwe is one of the priority countries nominated by the World Health Organisation and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS to adopt and implement voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) because of its high rate of HIV prevalence and its low level of male circumcision. VMMC, which was introduced in Zimbabwe in 2009, is a new HIV prevention method which reportedly offers partial protection of about 60 percent for circumcised males with respect to contracting HIV through sexual relations.

Three recent Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) have been able to deduce that Medical Male Circumcision (MMC) can reduce a heterosexual man’s chances of acquiring HIV through vaginal sexual intercourse by approximately 60% (Auvert et al. 2005; Gray et al. 2007; Bailey et al. 2007). In 2010, based on WHO recommendations, South Africa commenced a nationwide roll-out of MMC services. However, in the wake of these findings have come concerns that decreases in men’s perceived risk of contracting HIV could spark increases in risky sexual behaviour (risk compensation), in turn, driving up HIV incide
