- Description
- Aims to ascertain youth's knowledge about male circumcision and perception of risk of HIV infection. Reveals that age was a significant predictor of knowledge about male circumcision among youth in Harare, as was educational attainment and ever having tested for HIV. Provides two recommendations: the need to strengthen perceived susceptibility to HIV among the youth and the need for advocacy on the health benefits of male circumcision.
