Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) for HIV prevention in Tanzania was
introduced by the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare in 2010 as part of the
national HIV prevention strategy. A qualitative study was conducted prior to a
cluster randomized trial which tested effective strategies to increase VMMC up
take among men aged ?20 years. During the formative qualitative study, we
conducted in-depth interviews with circumcised males (n = 14), uncircumcised
males (n = 16), and participatory group discussions (n = 20) with men and women
aged 20-49 years in Njombe and Tabora regions of Tanzania. Participants reported
that mothers and female partners have an important influence on men's decisions
to seek VMMC both directly by denying sex, and indirectly through discussion,
advice and providing information on VMMC to uncircumcised partners and sons. Our
findings suggest that in Tanzania and potentially other settings, an expanded
role for women in VMMC communication strategies could increase adult male uptake
of VMMC services.
