This does not make sense. If you are uncircumcised, you need to wear a condom. If you are circumcised, you need to wear a condom. If you need to wear condom regardless, why get cut? I would prefer to stay uncircumcised with a sensitive penis than be cut.

I made a short promo video for PSI’s MC program at Harare Hospital last year http://www.youtube.com/granadillafilms#p/u/4/rT8-wSGyc0Y. All the young men who are circumcised are referred by a New Start counselling centre and are all HIV-. There are intensive group and one-on-one counselling sessions before and after the MC procedure to drum it home that MC alone is not going to prevent HIV transmission and that it is still imperative to use condoms during sex. I sincerely hope that this program helps to reduce HIV infections, but we will only know whether it is working or not after some years of the program being in place. I do think that anything that can help fight the battle against HIV/AIDS is worth a try.

Whether circumcised or not, condoms should be used consistently and correctly all the time. on top of that its important to know each other’s HIV status because condoms are not 100% safe: a condom can have pores that eyes can’t see, or it can burst during intercourse. Suppose it bursts during intercourse and you don’t know each other’s HIV status. Doesn’t that scare you?

I suggest that condoms should be used despite the male circumcision. I say VIVA to all those who love to use condoms. Pliz CONDOMIZE…………….!

Thank you for such an enlighter. I have always had reservations abt the mc issue. Now what they found another way to protect Male from getting infected, what will protect Female incase the Mlae is not mc and doesnt want to condomise. Take for instatence a married affrican women. Condomisation in marriage is still a dream now that mc is only done on man if he refuses both and am married to him were does that leaves me. i strongly believe much thought should be put on women ways, or is this a man `s world. Man do not care howthey have it, which might be the root off all this. If man were so eager to protect themsleves we wouldnt be were we are in Aids related statistics so I think the world should focus on the female part on how they can protect themselves. In ways that they have contorl on. Better ways than putting a condom on someone else. or checking first if they are mc. Is this the end of the reserchers brains. Please pple u can do better.
