The prevalence of [[HIV]] infection among men aged 15-29 has ''not'' decreased despite several campaigns to perform male circumcision.
[[Michel Garenne |Garenne]] & Matthews (2019) report:
<blockquote>
In a multivariate analysis, based on the 2013 DHS survey, circumcised men were found to have the same level of infection as [[uncircumcised]] men, after controlling for age, sexual behaviour and socioeconomic status. Lastly, circumcised men tended to have somewhat riskier sexual behaviour than [[uncircumcised]] men. This study, based on large representative samples of the Zambian population, questions the current strategy of mass circumcision campaigns in southern and eastern Africa.<ref name="garenne-matthews2019">{{REFjournal
