There is growing epidemiological evidence from sub-Saharan Africa that male circumcision reduces the risk of HIV acquisition.

We conclude by discussing the public health implications of these findings, including issues such as safety, acceptability, feasibility and cost-effectiveness of promoting male circumcision in African populations.
