Abstract

Prevalence of male infant circumcision was lower in this study compared to national threshold. Women knowledge towards male infant circumcision, aged more than 36 years, and women with favourable attitude to male circumcision are factors positively associated with male infant circumcision. Hence, stakeholders should empower women using health education about male infant circumcision and mobilise the community.
