Safety of over Twelve Hundred Infant Male Circumcisions Using the Mogen Clamp in Kenya

摘要

BackgroundSeveral sub-Saharan African countries plan to scale-up infant male circumcision (IMC) for cost-efficient HIV prevention. Little data exist about the safety of IMC in East and southern Africa. We calculated adverse event (AE) rate and risks for AEs associated with introduction of IMC services at five government health facilities in western Kenya.
