Free and safe

We now offer FREE and safe voluntary male medical circumcisions (VMMC). The programme is funded by USAID through the Centre for HIV and Aids Prevention Studies, CHAPS.

Lister Polyclinic

The circumcisions are done at our Lister Polyclinic branch in Johannesburg.

Surgeons

Only our doctors, who have undergone specialised training in male medical circumcisions, perform the circumcisions. They include Drs Tshepo Mokoena, Paul Nyathi, Andrew Ndiweni and Shephard Maphisa.

Training

The training for both doctors and the nurses who assist during the procedure is provided by CHAPS and funded by USAID.

The procedure

The procedure is safe and pain free and takes less than 20 minutes. Patients are able to go to work the same day, depending on the nature of their occupation.

Medical circumcisions can be performed safely throughout the year, including summer.

Reduction of HIV/Aids infections

Circumcision reduces the rate of HIV/Aids infection by up to 60%.

Counselling

We also offer FREE HIV counselling and testing (HCT or VCT).
