Dr. Gloria Asare, a Public Health Consultant, has said male circumcision was one key area of HIV and AIDS prevention and appealed to families to circumcise their male children. She said circumcision could also help in the prevention of other sexually transmitted diseases and other infections.
Dr. Asare said this at the Western Regional dissemination forum for the National HIV and AIDS and Sexual Transmitted Infections Policy at Takoradi.
She said the foreskin of the penis could serve as a receptive tank for all manner of germs, bacteria and other harmful viruses and that it could also serve as breeding grounds for the HIV and AIDS virus and other sexually transmitted diseases.
