Behavioural trends vs. circumcision trends: Since the mid 1980s, Western circumcision advocates have used a surface knowledge of African cultures to make an epidemiological association between high HIV rates and “lack of circumcision” – a pattern at odds with
USAID statistics and 11 of the 13 relevant Demographic Health Surveys at the start of VMMC roll-out in 2008 (see
Garenne, 2008). What do locals say about this alleged association? Is this a pattern they have seen in their communities?
