Anthropological approaches and studies are very instrumental in understanding contemporary social problems. This includes circumcised men's sexual behaviour. Therefore, as an Anthropologist I argue that the ability of individuals to be aware of, to initiate, and to sustain safer sexual behaviours largely depend upon societal sexual norms and practices, and not just self-perceived susceptibility to HIV infection.Therefore, the understanding of socio-cultural context of human behaviour is an important aspect that current anthropological studies should address in order to minimize the spread of HIV/AIDS in the sub-Saharan Africa.I therefore urge interested scholars to read this piece of work and get a clear picture of circumcised men's sexual behaviour after medical male circumcision in Western Kenya Lake region.
