Abstract
In this article the authors respond to the various claims made in a recent article by Green, et al. "Male circumcision is not the 'vaccine' we have been waiting for!". The article by Green urged immediate action to implement safe MC services based on the scientific evidence for HIV prevention and others aspects of reproductive health.-
