Objective: Male circumcision reduces the risk of HIV acquisition by approximately 60%. Male circumcision services are now being introduced in selected populations in sub-Saharan Africa and further interventions are being planned. A serious concern is whether male circumcision can be provided safely to large numbers of adult males in developing countries. Methods: This prospective study was conducted in the Bungoma district, Kenya, where male circumcision is universally practised.
