Achia said with the advent of HIV, the Pokot community now sees the need for male circumcision. Updated Fri, July 8th 2016 at 00:00 GMT +3Kenya will soon introduce a new non-surgical male circumcision method to help curb the spread of HIV. The Health ministry's National Aids and Sexually Transmitted Infection head, Martin Sirengo, said PrePex, a non-surgical, bloodless, fast and easier medical circumcision procedure, had been piloted in the country since 2015. "The study has shown that the Prepex male device meets the safety standards used internationally for such devices to pave the way for its use in Kenya," Mr Sirengo said during the release of a report on the Prepex device in the country. "The procedure is bloodless, requires no injected anaesthesia, no sutures and takes only a few minutes to perform," Sirengo said.
