WHO/UNAIDS' New Data on Male Circumcision and HIV Prevention: Policy and Programme Implications

In March 2007, WHO/UNAIDS convened an international consultation including policy makers, programme managers, researchers, and AIDS and women's health advocates to examine the results of the three male circumcision clinical trials and other evidence and determine the policy and programme implications.
