VMMC also reduces the risk of other sexually transmitted infections, such as herpes and syphilis and it also offers additional protection against life-threatening health conditions that face men, such as penile and prostate cancer.
“Before the procedure, I was nervous, but I manned up and did it. I encourage all men to do the right thing!”
Nkwanyana, is a MMC Man Up ambassador and is Deputy President of Africa Break the Silence, a non-profit organisation committed to educating young people about HIV and AIDS.
