Scientists have found that male circumcision can significantly reduce the chances of HIV infection because the foreskin has a higher concentration of HIV-receptors.
The simple device - two plastic rings and an elastic band - cuts off blood supply to the foreskin, which then shrivels and is removed with the band after a week.
"I felt nothing, not even a little discomfort," Igalla said after a procedure taking just minutes, noting there was no blood - unlike traditional circumcision where the foreskin is sliced off by knife- thus reducing the risk of infection.
