The Clearninghouse on Male Circumcision for HIV Prevention is moving to the new Global HIV Prevention Coalition’s Resource Hub. All of our resources have been transferred to the GPC site, where additional VMMC resources will continue to be posted as part of the Adolescent Boys and Men pillar. This site will no longer be available beginning May 1, 2024.
Researchers analysed longitudinal data from a large population cohort of South African men to measure the effect of incident circumcision on sexual behaviours. The results, published in the Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes, strongly suggest that circumcision has no effect on sexual behaviours that increase HIV risk.
