Trends in age at male circumcision and its determinants in Rwanda
Male circumcision uptake in Rwanda has increased markedly over the past decade, with the most significant gains observed among younger men. Sustained efforts that strengthen health education, expand media-based awareness campaigns, and implement targeted approaches for older and rural populations could further promote earlier circumcision uptake and enhance the effectiveness of national HIV prevention programs.
