This Week in PLoS Medicine: Adult male circumcision in South Africa; HIV testing for children; Prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission

Coinciding with the International AIDS Conference hosted this week in Vienna, PLoS Medicine has published three articles on HIV testing and prevention.

Bertrand Auvert and colleagues describe the large-scale roll-out of adult male circumcision through a program in South Africa, investigating the feasibility of the UNAIDS/WHO operational guidelines for targeted African settings.

Scott Kellerman and Shaffiq Essajee argue that the time has come to increase access to HIV testing for children, especially in sub-Saharan Africa.

Younsook Lim and colleagues describe the Rwanda Learning Collaborative on Child Health, which aimed to improve and extend the impact of prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV/AIDS.
