A novel device used in the scale-up of voluntary male circumcision for HIV prevention can cut the time of the procedure in half and was associated with few side effects, but healing may be slower, according to a report presented at the 7th International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention (IAS 2013) this month in Kuala Lumpur.
