Male cut though being considered as an intervention aimed at helping reduce HIV infections leaves a lot of questions to be answered. HIV virus still affects both the cut and the non-cut. In Kenya for example, the government seems to have lost focus and direction. Intially, the story was Re-using things such as needles, Wife inheritence, Behaviour change and now male cut, who knows what will be adopted tomorrow? Wife inheritence story went down data clearly and consistently indicated that the worst affected are young people who not even married leave a lone inherited a wife! Current talks on male cut may only end up helping men and not women (who sufers twice as men)!
Male cut as an intervention against HIV will also fail misserably. Thanks
