HIV risk perception and changes in sexual behavior and sexual satisfaction following male circumcision among circumcised males and their female partners from a traditionally noncir... by Barbara Burmen, Kennedy Mutai, George Otieno Olilo

“…Recently circumcised males were more likely to be younger, single and unemployed; similarly, their female partners were more likely to be younger, single and have attained above primary education (P < 0.05). Most of (≥ 90%) all men and women believed that circumcised men are less likely to get HIV infection and felt that both reducing the number of sex partners, and condom use with a partner with unknown HIV status were still necessary despite male circumcision (MC) being available in their community. …”
