he South African National Department of Health (NDOH) has endorsed Medical Male Circumcision (MMC) as an HIV prevention strategy for men in South Africa. In 2007, World Health Organisation (WHO) and United Nations Program on AIDS (UNAIDS) recommended that voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) be considered as part of the comprehensive HIV prevention strategies for countries with a high prevalence of HIV and low coverage of circumcision. This followed three independent clinical trials in South Africa, Kenya and Uganda, that provided evidence that male circumcision reduces the risk of sexual transmission of HIV from HIV sero-positive women to HIV sero-negative men by 53 to 60%.
