Zimbabwe's male MPs are not enthusiastic about a call for them to be circumcised to set an example in the fight against HIV/AIDS

Deputy Prime Minister Thokozani Khupe made the call, following evidence that circumcised men are 60% less likely to get infected with HIV. Zimbabwe is one of the countries worst hit by HIV/AIDS and the government in 2010 launched a campaign to circumcise up to 80% of the country's young men - some three million people. HIV/AIDS experts, however, warn that using a condom, abstaining from sex or being faithful to one partner offer far greater protection against HIV infection.
