We offer safe voluntary medical male circumcisions (VMMC). This is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the foreskin of the penis. It is a recognized intervention for HIV prevention and has been shown to reduce the risk of transmission by 60%. Circumcision carries also other advantages such as reducing urinary tract infections, sexually transmitted infections and penile cancer.
