We assessed medical male circumcision (MMC) coverage and knowledge and attitudes toward MMC adoption in men in Rakai, Uganda after 4 years of scale-up. MMC prevalence only reached 28 %, with an annual increase of 4 %. Prevalence was lower in men not using condoms or having never received HIV testing and counseling. Over 95 % of uncircumcised men knew the health benefits of and places offering MMC, but only 27 % were willing to adopt MMC. Main reasons for non-acceptance were fear of pain or injury. The data suggest MMC uptake in Rakai has been suboptimal and demand generation is key for scale-up.
在扩大规模4年后，我们评估了乌干达拉凯地区男性的医学包皮环切术（MMC）覆盖率以及男性对采用MMC的认知和态度。MMC普及率仅达到28%，年增长率为4%。未使用避孕套或从未接受过艾滋病毒检测与咨询的男性中，MMC普及率较低。超过95%未行包皮环切术的男性知晓MMC的健康益处及提供MMC的地点，但只有27%愿意接受MMC。不接受的主要原因是害怕疼痛或受伤。数据表明，拉凯地区MMC的采用情况未达最佳水平，扩大规模的关键在于激发需求。
