Zimbabwe lawmakers get circumcised in AIDS fight

Officials said more than 40 lawmakers have volunteered to undergo circumcision , a procedure that research shows reduces the risk of HIV transmission .

Chebundo was the first to be circumcised Friday. He said the procedure was "safe and pain-free."

"I was a bit scared at first but I didn't feel a thing. I can confidently urge all Zimbabwean men to go through with this," he said. (Link )
