INTEREST in male circumcision as an HIV prevention intervention is focused on the promise it holds to reduce the risk of HIV infection for men engaged in heterosexual, vaginal intercourse. Following an international consultation on 6–8 March 2007, WHO and UNAIDS released ‘‘Conclusions and Recommendations’’ on the policy and programmatic implications of the existing data on male circumcision and HIV prevention.1 This is a welcome step in what will inevitably be a long process to ensure male circumcision is appropriately implemented as part of the response to HIV. Beyond simply the offer of the service, if male circumcision is to be an effective strategy over the long term, these conclusions and recommendations will need to be translated into guidelines and adapted and adopted at national and local level. Policies and programmes will need to be developed, and appropriate monitoring and evaluation systems created. In doing so, the devil, as they say, will be in the details. Some issues to be considered as this process moves forward are outlined below
