FOR more than a decade those working in the field of sexual and reproductive health have been calling for male involvement of various kinds. When men are actually expected to do something specific however the success rates have been very uneven. Very few men have had vasectomies for example except in a handful of countries as compared to the number of women who have been sterilised when they no longer wish to have more children. On the other hand although millions of men in countries such as Turkey still practise withdrawal for contraceptive purposes and gay men began to use withdrawal for risk reduction against HIV transmission early on as well that practice has received no publicity or promotion let alone randomised trials to determine its use-effectiveness so as to promote it if it is proven effective for risk reduction. Condom use and promotion too have a checkered history. Men have been slow to take up condom use to prevent pregnancy or HIV/STI transmission between themselves andtheir partners in both vaginal and anal sex. And neither the family planning world nor the HIV world have championed the condom or promoted it to men or women in anything like the way they should have been doing for the past 25 years - and should still be doing - to bring about the defeat of the HIV epidemic.
