Voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) is an add-on strategy to other existing strategies for HIV prevention, in 2009 the Government of Botswana through the Ministry of Health and Wellness adopted the voluntary safe male circumcision programme.

As a strategy to reach more uncircumcised males, ACHAP is collaborating with The Botswana University of Maryland School of Medicine Health Initiative (BUMMHI) to strengthen referrals and linkages of clients seen by the two government partners.

ACHAP has already started to orientate the Kweneng BUMMHI team on VMMC with focus on referral guidelines. The orientation will continue to other districts.
