In IAS 2015, Francois Venter, M.D., from the Wits Reproductive Health and HIV Research Institute, described implementations and challenges of various biomedical interventions of prevention and treatment of HIV in south africa, and detailed findings of his own work in South Africa.
He stated that Even though male circumcision tends to be overlooked, the data overwhelmingly shows that the procedure is an effective way to reduce the risk of HIV transmission. 
This practice is being adopted in the 14 priority African countries. In 2014 alone, 3.3 million men in these countries were circumcised -- a 22% increase over 2013. However, the HIV fund PEPFAR has a slight decrease in funds available for circumcision. If a program is working, it should not be curtailed, Venter said.
