  2. Circumcised menChange in behavior before and after MC * p<0.05

  3. Circumcised men vs. controls Change in behavior before and after MC Proportion of men reporting ever having sex Circumcision Control G=0.46 T=0.01 G = Group effect p value T = Time effect p value Proportion of men reporting having sex in the past 6 months Mean number of partners in the past 6 months G=0.62 T=0.001 G=0.69 T=0.02 Mean frequency of sex in the past 30 days Proportion of men reporting using condoms at last sex G=0.85 T=0.10 G=0.93 T=0.01

  4. Summary and conclusions • When comparing circumcised men to themselves before MC it appears they have sex more often, but with the same number of partners and with increased condom use. The control group has similar trends over time, indicating that changes in behavior are unlikely to be related to circumcision • Based on these results, we found no evidence of risk compensation 6 months after the circumcision among young Kenyan men • In the future, we will report results from 24 months of follow-up on the approximately 3200 men in this prospective study.
