Description

Non-therapeutic, non-religious circumcision is the surgical procedure most commonly published about, (1) but substantive indications are lacking. Since its introduction to the USA during the Victorian period, when it was thought that it prevented masturbation, (2) medical justifications for the procedure progressed to prevention of various infective conditions (sexually transmitted diseases, penile and cervical cancer) and controlling of the sexual drive. Recent Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS/World Health Organization (UNAIDS/WHO) policy proposes male circumcision for the prevention of HIV/AIDS. (3,4) HIV/AIDS in Africa is mainly spread by multiple concurrent heterosexual relationships, (5) compounded by female subjugation6, (7) and poverty. (8,9) Condoms, although highly protective, are infrequently used, particularly among circumcised males. (10,11)
