Towards a context-specific understanding of masculinities in Eswatini within voluntary medical male circumcision programming
Compelling evidence from three randomised controlled trials, which showed that voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) reduces HIV acquisition from women to men by up to 60%, led to WHO recommending that VMMC be implemented in 14 priority countries.
