Excerpt:

Zingeni is among the 950,626 Zambian youths and men who have undergone the HIV prevention strategy across Zambia. The programme began in 2008.
According to research done by various organisations including the World Health Organisation (WHO), it has been revealed that male circumcision (MC) has helped reduce men’s risk of acquiring HIV by 60 percent.

The WHO 2015 Progress Brief on VMMC for HIV Prevention reports that nearly one million men have been medically circumcised since 2008 when VMMC started towards the end of 2014 as part of the massive scale-up of circumcision services in the country.
For the year 2014 alone, the report indicates that 315,168 men accessed the service.
From 2008 until 2014, a total number of 950,626 men have been circumcised, representing 49 percent of the country’s 2015 target of two million VMMCs.
