Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) is a proven strategy for reducing HIV transmission among men (UNAIDS, 2020). This research investigates how traditional notions of masculinity and gender roles influence the acceptance and uptake of Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC), a key strategy in HIV prevention. The study aims to understand the cultural and social factors that shape men’s health-seeking behaviors regarding VMMC. The study used descriptive correlational design. Sequential sampling sampling method was used to select 80 participants with an age range of 15-49 years. Guided by an intersectional perspective, data was collected through structured interviews that examined demographic details, perceptions of masculinity, how VMMC impacts gender relations, and the social influences that either promote or hinder its adoption. Data analysis using SPSS focused on exploring the correlations between masculinity norms and VMMC participation, as well as identifying social and cultural barriers or enablers. The results indicated that all participants were literate; however, misconceptions persisted, such as the belief that VMMC diminishes sexual feelings (40%) and prolongs sexual activity (15%). Some concerns raised included lack of demand creation, perceived insincerity among VMMC providers, unaddressed side effects, and issues with informed consent. Based on these findings, the study recommends incorporating discussions about masculinity and gender roles into VMMC programs. Engaging men, women, and community leaders in promoting positive masculinity can help challenge harmful norms, foster supportive environments, and increase VMMC uptake. It is also crucial to deliver culturally sensitive healthcare that addresses fears about pain, provides follow-up care, and maintains confidentiality. Integrating VMMC services with HIV testing and counseling could further improve access and awareness, with trained counselors playing a vital role.
