新华网卢萨卡１０月２日电（记者穆东报道员孟菁）赞比亚已将今年１０月确立为“男性包皮环切月”并计划在月内为１万名赞比亚男子实施免费环切手术，以降低艾滋病病毒感染率，改善生殖健康状况。
赞比亚卫生部长卡彭布瓦·辛巴奥１日号召全体国民积极参与这项活动。辛巴奥说，这项活动已经普及到赞比亚７２个地区中的３６个，目前已有２００名临床医生接受了相关培训，具备实施环切手术的能力。
南部非洲国家赞比亚是世界最不发达国家之一，艾滋病在１５岁至４９岁人群中的流行率超过１４％。
赞比亚近年来采取各种措施降低艾滋病的传播。而有研究证明，包皮环切术可使感染艾滋病病毒的风险降低６０％。
自２００９年以来，赞比亚已对超过５万名男子进行了这一手术。赞比亚政府的目标是在２０２０年前对２５０万名１３岁至３９岁的赞比亚男子免费实施环切手术。
