The study highlights significant variation in TMC practices across communities and identifies both individual and contextual factors influencing its uptake. These insights underscore the need for culturally sensitive, voluntary, and medically safe circumcision programs. Public health initiatives should consider these determinants when designing interventions to ensure a safer and more effective implementation of TMC in Lesotho
