Safety, Feasibility, and Acceptability of the PrePex Device for Adult Male Circumcision in Malawi.

Introduction: Nonsurgical adult male circumcision devices present an alternative to surgery where health resources are limited. This study aimed to assess the safety, feasibility, and acceptability of the PrePex device for adult male circumcision in Malawi.

Methods: A prospective single-arm cohort study was conducted at 3 sites (1 urban static, 1 rural static, 1 rural tent) in Malawi.

Classification and rates of adverse events in a Malawi male circumcision program: impact of quality improvement training.

Background: Assessing safety outcomes is critical to inform optimal scale-up of voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) programs. Clinical trials demonstrated adverse event (AE) rates from 1.5 to 8 %, but we have limited data on AEs from VMMC programs.
