Circumcision Truck Aims To Prevent HIV In Uganda

BBC News: Uganda male circumcision truck brings hope on HIV
“Uganda’s mobile circumcision truck has one clear goal: to get as many men and boys as possible circumcised safely. … According to the World Health Organization, male circumcision reduces the risk of men getting HIV by 60%. But for many in Uganda, getting it done is not easy, mainly because there are not enough safe facilities and it can be expensive…” (Byaruhanga, 3/31).
