Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) limited to penis is rare and usually observed in AIDS patients. However, in circumcised and HIV-seronegative patients, KS confined to the penis is extremely rare. We present the case of an HIV-seronegative and circumcised 55-year-old man, who presented with two reddish papules, one 5 mm in diameter on the coronal sulcus near the frenulum, and the other 2 mm in diameter on the glans penis, which were reported as a Kaposi's sarcoma after excision of the lesion.

Introduction: South Africa adopted for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in 2016, becoming the first African country to do so. Yet to date, uptake has been underwhelming, only about 165,000 South Africans were reported to be on PrEP in mid-2021. Lack of awareness has been cited as a contributory factor for the low uptake, but this has never been examined using a nationally representative sample.

Background: Observational studies suggest that voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) may lower HIV risk among men who have sex with men (MSM). A randomized controlled trial (RCT) is needed to confirm this.
Objective: To assess the efficacy of VMMC in preventing incident HIV infection among MSM.

Introduction: Although the Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is one of the AIDS defining entity and seen in almost one third of HIV infected patients with low CD4 cell counts, it is not uncommon in HIV seronegative persons, but genital KS is rare, particularly in people without risk factors for HIV infection. Isolated penile KS is an unusual manifestation, especially as solitary nodule with ulceration, in HIV seronegative patient.
Case Presentation: We report such a case of Kaposi sarcoma showing HHV-8 positivity in an elderly male Arabian patient with a delay in prompt diagnosis, but treated successfully with 3 3 years follow-up after limited local surgical excision.

Methods: This was a prospective cohort of HIV seronegative males aged 18-40 years receiving VMMC between November 2012 and July 2014.
