很少有人知道男性包皮环切术（MC）的接受青春期男孩，艾滋病毒预防的一个关键目标群体。我们在博茨瓦纳的两个村庄进行了青少年男孩和他们的父母/监护人的集群设计调查。在访问的1 300户家庭中，398名男孩符合条件; 269名男孩和210名父母/监护人参加了调查。80%的男孩正确描述了MC，76%的男孩确定MC降低了男性感染艾滋病毒的风险。在简短的信息会议后，75%的男孩表示他们肯定希望接受割礼，96%的父母/监护人希望他们的男孩接受割礼。男孩最常报告的疼痛（49%）和可能的健康问题（19%）的关注进行MC;对同伴或合作伙伴的接受，性功能，或文化的适当性的关注是罕见的。在博茨瓦纳，如果在医院环境中安全、免费和充分控制疼痛，青少年MC可能是高度可接受的。
Little is known of the acceptability of male circumcision (MC) to adolescent boys, a key target group for HIV prevention. We conducted a cluster design survey among adolescent boys and their parents/guardians in two villages in Botswana. Of 1300 households visited, 398 boys were eligible; 269 boys and 210 parents/guardians participated. MC was described correctly by 80% of boys, and 76% identified that MC reduces the risk of male HIV acquisition. After a brief informational session, 75% of boys stated that they would definitely want to be circumcised and 96% of parents/guardians would want their boy circumcised. Boys most frequently reported pain (49%) and possible health problems (19%) as concerns undergoing MC; concerns about peer or partner acceptance, sexual function, or cultural appropriateness were uncommon. Adolescent MC is likely to be highly acceptable in Botswana if done safely, for free and with adequate pain control in a hospital setting.
