CIHR-funded research in Kenya

ank, Scientific Director of the CIHR Institute of Population and Public Health. This study is a clear example of Canadian excellence in health research working together with researchers in affected countries.

The trial began in 2001and brought the expertise of researchers from three countries in a team-based approach. A total of 2,784 men between the age of 18 and 24 from the district of Kisumu in western Kenya were recruited to take part in the trial.

Despite all efforts, rates of HIV remain high in many African countries. Although circumcision alone does not prevent someone from becoming infected with HIV, it clearly lowers the risk of becoming infected, and the results of this trial show that male circumcision can be considered an important HIV prevention strategy, added Dr. Moses.
