PEPFAR MALE CIRCUMCISION PROGRAM

• PEPFAR supports MC as a component of a comprehensive HIV prevention program in sub-Saharan Africa,

• PEPFAR is working to scale up quality MC programs as feasible and appropriate to the country context.

• In its next phase, PEPFAR is transitioning to a two pronged MC assistance approach. This approach would simultaneously support the immediate demand for MC and allow governments to develop policies and the necessary infrastructure for more sustained service delivery.

Two pronged approach assistanceAdult and Neonate Male Circumcision

PEPFAR Male Circumcision Future Directions

• Efficiency/Program productivity– Clinical/program efficiencies to boost productivity with given resources – Technical assistance visits – Evaluation of efficiency considerations (Operational Research)

• Accelerated ‘saturation’ of populations – Support to Swaziland to rapidly ‘saturate’ pops with MC– Greater reductions in HIV incidence as scale-up pace increases– Opportunity in Swaziland to demonstrate nationwide reductions in HIV

incidence among men and women after ASI– Subsequently allows for resources to be dedicated to neonatal MC and

other endeavors
