Kenyan Government Adopts Male Circumcision!
« on: April 15, 2008, 03:51:43 AM »
The Kenyan government has issued a new policy to adopt male circumcision as a standard HIV prevention strategy, Kenya's Nation reports. The Policy on Male Circumcision in Kenya 2008 calls for the procedure to be provided to all willing males. The decision to adopt circumcision as an HIV intervention follows studies showing that male circumcision can significantly lower risk for HIV, the Nation reports.

According to the policy, male circumcision will become the fourth part of the ABC HIV prevention approach -- which stands for abstinence, be faithful, use condoms. The new approach will be ABCC, with the last C representing circumcision. The proposed policy notes that circumcision will not replace current effective HIV prevention methods and that it should be considered as part of a comprehensive prevention package, the Nation reports.
