Male Circumcision for HIV Prevention at ICASA 2011

Among the six sessions devoted entirely to male circumcisions was one satellite session organized by FHI 360 and Kenya’s National AIDS and STI Control Programme on accelerating the pace of scale-up, which examined the lessons from Kenya’s experience. Another satellite session, sponsored by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS and the US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, focused on the costing, impact, and challenges of accelerated scale-up of services.
