Male circumcision as one of the strategies for HIV/AIDS prevention

Members,
Its always humbling to see and hear from scientists around the globe about the tireless efforts they are putting in place to see that innovative HIV preventive measures are identified and developed! Male circumsion is one such strategy!

However my thought about this fantastic strategy that research studies have shown to reduce HIV infection risks by about 60% is; without concerted efforts being directed at effective and efficient communication of the strategy, it might be counter productive! The communication of the 60% statistic to a lay person must be a key issue to articulate! This is premised on the fact that many lay males will get circumcised for the reason that it gives 100% protection. IT DOES NOT SUBSTITUTE ANY OTHER STRATEGY INCLUDING ABC THAT HAS BEEN SEEN TO CUT DOWN ON INFECTION RATES IN UGANDA.

Infact my proposal is that before governments emphasize massive male circumcision there must be an initial phase of intensive sensitization using the enormous mass media available. The sensitization must be handled as a fully fledged project with a full designated budget before the roll out of the strategy!

However, my worry is corruption. Even if the project may be carefully designed the implementers might abuse the project! I hereby seek members' opinions as its a very important issue.
