Eine der niedrigsten Beschneidungsraten hat Malawi.
"District Medical Officer for Kasungu, Dr Sosten Lankhulani told the Malawi News Agency (Mana) that within the past two years, only 400 men have been circumcised in the district against the annual target of 21, 000."
Aber warum?
"There are misconceptions bordering on culture and the health perspective about circumcision."

Vielleicht sind es aber gar nicht "Misconceptions", sondern "Rightconceptions", denn schon vor drei Jahren wurde aus Malawi berichtet.
"In Malawi, you've got very big differences in the HIV epidemic from north to south and those differences don’t correlate to differences in circumcision prevalence. High prevalence rates are in the southern part of the country, which is also where we have the most circumcision ...
These differences aren't totally inexplicable but I think it's made people more cautious about moving forward with male circumcision.The mismatch between HIV prevalence and traditional circumcision rates has raised doubts among some high-level health officials, most notably Principal Secretary for HIV and AIDS within the Presidency, Dr Mary Shawa."
