World Health Organization (WHO) and world leaders are now busy campaigning for male circumcision to prevent the threat of infectious diseases that kill HIV. The campaign is expected to increase the number of men who are circumcised especially in eastern and southern African countries.HIV experts from Population Services International (PSI) Krishna Jafa count if awareness of men in eastern and southern Africa in both adult and newborn male infant circumcision can be increased to 80 percent then there will be 4 million African men who survived the threat of HIV.
More and more men who are circumcised can also save health care costs for HIV U.S. $ 20.2 billion for the budget year 2009-2025."With a slim resources, we must focus on methods that have proven effective in preventing HIV transmission such as through circumcision. Former U.S. President Bill Clinton and Bill Gates in his speech also called for increasing the number of men are circumcised," says Krishna Jafa, as quoted by Reuters on Wednesday (21/07/2010).While research by WHO showed male circumcision can reduce HIV risk by 60 percent. Circumcision is expected to reduce the number of new HIV infections by using the techniques and better equipment, and training for staff who do.In the new system was pioneered, a team of two doctors and three nurses able to circumcise four people at the same time and increase the average number of operations per hour 3 to 10 operations per hour. After more than 12 months of this system, about 6,500 people had been circumcised.The study also shows that the quality of this procedure remains a good thing to do. Moreover, there are no adverse side effects reported after circumcision.PSI study conducted found that Zimbabwe as a country have an average rate of HIV in adults is around 13.7 percent and the rate of men who were circumcised only about 10 percent. But if 80 percent of male circumcision, it can prevent the possibility of 750 new HIV infections.Microsoft boss Bill Gates through the Gates Foundation has spent over U.S. $ 34 billion to combat HIV.
