Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision to Reduce HIV Acquisition and Transmission

Sten H. H. Vermund

Summary: This commentary introduces a special Global Health Section on voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) programs and their role in preventing HIV infection in men and indirectly in women. The implementation of VMMC programs relies on best practices and addressing key obstacles to reduce HIV acquisition among men, particularly in areas with high HIV prevalence. The success of VMMC has been observed in sub-Saharan Africa, where circumcision rates are low and the impact of VMMC deployment is expected to be favorable. This section discusses the achievements, challenges, risks, and plans for future progress in partnership with affected communities.

Circumcision as conquest: Masculinity in Eswatini's voluntary medical male circumcision campaign materials

Sarah Rudrum

Summary: This study uses discourse analysis to examine the messages about gender and sexuality in Eswatini's Soka Uncobe public health campaign for voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC). The campaign materials use the slogan 'conquest' to portray circumcision as a heroic act and link sexual conquest to the conquest of HIV, which is potentially misleading and harmful. The promotion of circumcision as a necessary norm for masculinity and appropriate citizenship overshadows the discussion of the HIV protection offered by the intervention, limiting the effectiveness of the campaign.

Male circumcision uptake during the Botswana Combination Prevention Project

Tafireyi Marukutira, Faith Ussery, Etienne Kadima, Lisa A. Mills, Jan Moore, Lisa Block, Pam Bachanas, Stephanie Davis, Tracey Schissler, Roselyn Mosha, Onneile Komotere, Thebeyame Diswai, Conrad Ntsuape, Refeletswe Lebelonyane, Naomi Bock

Summary: Voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) uptake has been slow in some countries, including Botswana. Younger, unemployed men seeking HIV testing at mobile sites in Botswana were more likely to get VMMC. Addressing unique barriers for employed and older men may be necessary. HIV testing programs offer a platform for identifying uncircumcised men and offering information and encouragement to access services.

Future exposure modelling for risk-informed decision making in urban planning

Emin Yahya Mentese, Gemma Cremen, Roberto Gentile, Carmine Galasso, Maria Evangelina Filippi, John McCloskey

Summary: Population growth and urban expansion will occur globally in the future, which will affect exposure to natural hazards and vulnerability of people and the built environment. This paper focuses on the exposure component of dynamic natural hazard disaster risk by using urban planning as the center of future exposure characterization. An integrated data structure is proposed to capture future exposure to hazards, providing detailed information on physical and socio-demographic exposure. The proposed data schema is demonstrated using the virtual urban testbed Tomorrowville, showing how it can support decision-making for risk-sensitive and pro-poor urban planning and design in the future cities.

Circumcision as an Intervening Strategy against HIV Acquisition in the Male Genital Tract

Adhikarimayum Lakhikumar Sharma, Joseph Hokello, Mudit Tyagi

Summary: Unsafe sex with HIV-infected individuals is a major route for HIV transmission, and traditional protective strategies have not been successful. Voluntary male circumcision is recommended as a key strategy, but there is a general lack of public understanding on how it effectively protects against HIV infection. This review aims to discuss the acquisition of HIV through the male genital tract and explain why circumcised men are more protected from HIV infection during sexual activity.

Emily Nyariki, Rhoda Wanjiru, Pooja Shah, Mary Kungu, Hellen Babu, Helen A. Weiss, Janet Seeley, Joshua Kimani, Tara S. Beattie

Summary: Women who sell sex face challenges in raising their children due to socio-economic difficulties and the stigma associated with their work. This paper presents findings from a qualitative study conducted in Nairobi, Kenya, which explored the experiences of female sex workers who are also mothers. Interviews with 39 women revealed themes related to their entry into sex work, childcare arrangements, maintaining respectability for their children, and prioritizing safety and security. Results indicate that poverty and lack of reliable income sources drove women to engage in sex work, but they demonstrated agency in balancing their stigmatized work with their roles as mothers.

Is neglect of self-clearance biasing TB vaccine impact estimates?

Danny Scarponi, Rebecca A. Clark, Chathika Krishan Weerasuriya, Jon Emery, Rein M. G. J. Houben, Richard White, Nicky McCreesh

Summary: Recent research suggests that self-clearance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection may be common, which could impact the potential impact of new tuberculosis vaccines. This study found that the inclusion of self-clearance in mathematical models increased the estimated relative reduction in incidence for vaccines effective only in uninfected individuals, but had variable effects on vaccines effective only in infected individuals. The inclusion of self-clearance had minimal impact on vaccines that work regardless of infection status.
