Dear Colleague,
The latest issue of the Clearinghouse’s quarterly research digest provides abstracts of articles from the peer-reviewed literature on male circumcision, with a focus on voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) for HIV prevention.
This issue covers articles published from 1 April to 30 June 2021. Links are provided to either the abstract online or the full text of articles that are open access. For additional information on VMMC, search the Clearinghouse’s Resource Library.
Featured Articles
- In a randomized trial in Kenya, getting circumcised reduced men’s chances of acquiring human papillomavirus (HPV) and improved HPV clearance.
- A review of five years of program data in Zimbabwe found that complications occurred with less than 2% of VMMC procedures and decreased every year and over time.
Other abstracts featured in the digest address the sustainability of VMMC services in Kenya, the targeting of VMMC services in South Africa, the factors associated with low uptake of VMMC in Rwanda’s Nyanza Province, and the use of mobile devices by gender in communities affected by HIV in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa.
Best regards,
Clearinghouse Webmaster
