Attitudes of Women in Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision in Maziba Sub-County Ndorwa East, Kabale District
Voluntary medical male circumcision is being scaled up at a slow pace in Uganda. Individuals’ awareness must be increased in order for them to develop good attitudes toward male circumcision as an HIV prevention technique. A cross-sectional study design was adopted, with parishes selected using a cluster selection method and the number of homes selected using a probability proportionate to size method. Households were chosen for study using systematic random sampling, and a total of 358 adult female respondents took part in the study. Data was collected using a semi-structured questionnaire. STATA version 14.2 was used to analyze the data. About 72.6% of women had a negative attitude towards male circumcision. Majority of women who had negative attitude towards male circumcision thought it was a painful procedure.
