Do you know the public health benefits of male circumcision ? Circumcision can reduce the risk of female to male transmission of HIV by up to 60%. About 11% of males between 10-64 have been circumcised in Botswana. A national public health campaign, supported by BOCAIP and other organizations, is geared to encouraging HIV testing and circumcision amongst the adult male population. BOCAIP is setting up clinics at some of its testing and counseling sites so this can be done in a safe, medical environment, and with appropriate counseling to encourage safe sex and relationship behaviors.
I heard a radio ad produced by a youth group: "Be smart; get trimmed !"
