No link between circumcision and condom use

Researcher Ivor Williams states the study, in its completion stages and due for publication mid year, reveals an insignificant difference in condom use pre and post circumcision.

Presenting on the African Comprehensive HIV/ AIDS Partnership’s (ACHAP) contributions to the national HIV/AIDS response thus far, health economist and consultancy unit manager, Williams revealed this to the stakeholders at a workshop held in Gaborone yesterday.  Williams said the study indicates that 67 percent of men condomised before circumcision, whereas a very slight decline was noted post circumcision at 65.3 percent.
