Botswana to become a nation of helmets

According to AFP, “Botswana, which has one of the world's highest HIV infection rates, has launched a scheme to circumcise nearly half a million men to curb the spread the disease, the health ministry said Thursday.”

I was very impressed with the Batswana Government’s efforts to distribute condoms and promote AIDS awareness when I was there. This move does not convince me though. Will circumcising men dissuade them from using a condom and will the implementation of a mass circumcision be carried out efficiently and hygienically?
