Zimbabwe lawmakers set to undergo the cut
[Daily Nation (Kenya)] Hundreds of Zim-bob-wean MPs will be circumcised by the end of next month to help popularise the latest HIV/Aids prevention method.
Ouch. Still, apparently it significantly reduces the probability of catching the disease, provided neither you nor any of those who preceded you under the unwashed knife are already infected.
The 175 politicians would also undergo HIV tests and counselling, Mr Blessing Chebundo, the chairperson of Zim-bob-we Parliamentarians Against HIV and Aids (ZIPAH) told NewsDay newspaper today.
Before or after receiving the cut? Before answering, see above,
"We will walk the talk as role models and lead by example to embark on voluntary HIV testing and male circumcision, as well as to inspire young people to do the same," he said.

"We need to go down to constituencies, provinces, districts, wards and villages as ZIPAH to spread messages to fight HIV/Aids and encourage males to undergo voluntary circumcision," he added.

Mr Chebundo said 20 MPs had already booked appointments for circumcision at various centres set up by the government and donors.

"Almost 175 MPs who are members of ZIPAH are in support of this and also 25 members of staff at Parliament," he said.

"We are still updating the list of volunteers. Obviously, female MPs are not going for circumcision,
An interesting comment...
but we have encouraged their spouses to join us," he added.
