If circumcised men believe that they are protected from HIV there is a possibility that they will compensate for their perceived risk reduction by engaging in higher risk behaviours thereby mitigating any benefit of circumcision in preventing HIV infection. Some observational studies have shown that circumcised men engage in higher risk behaviours than uncircumcised men and the Orange Farm trial in South Africa found circumcised men to have slightly higher levels of risk compared to uncircumcised men. However results from the other two randomised trials of male circumcision in Kisumu Kenya and Rakai Uganda did not find any evidence of risk compensation in circumcised relative to uncircumcised men. This could have been due to intensive health education and access to risk-reduction HIV counselling and testing provided during the trials to minimise behaviour disinhibition. These findings are consistent with a cohort study conducted in Siaya and Bondo districts in Kenya which found that circumcised men did not engage in more risky sexual behaviours than uncircumcised men. In this article we describe voluntary HIV counselling and testing (VCT) sexually transmitted infection (STI) management and safer sex promotion activities conducted as part of the male circumcision trial in rural Rakai district south-western Uganda. Methods and results are described together following a short description of the overall study. (excerpt)
