Gulu — After years of hearing about the protective effects of medical male circumcision against HIV, many men in northern Uganda are taking advantage of a government move to provide the procedure free of charge.

So far, men in the north are turning up for the procedure in large numbers – in Apac District, Lango sub-region, where the programme began in September, more than 1,300 men have already been circumcised. In the Acholi sub-region town of Gulu, more than 100 men registered for the procedure in the first week, while Lira, also in the Lango sub-region, saw more than 250 men circumcised in the first week.
