Abstract
There is a strong relationship between male and female circumcision in traditional thought and, north of the equator, in their practice by ethnic groups. The Southwest Nigeria Study, a 1994–1995 survey of 1749 males and 1976 females in Nigeria's Ondo, Oyo and Lagos States, is used to examine contemporary levels of circumcision, reasons for carrying out the practice, and the circumstances of the circumcision operations. These findings are compared with earlier southwest Nigerian and West African studies. The persistence of the practices is confirmed, but rapid change towards their medicalization is also established. Possible links with AIDS are discussed.

The Southwest Nigeria Study, a 1994–1995 survey of 1749 males and 1976 females in Nigeria's Ondo, Oyo and Lagos States, is used to examine contemporary levels of circumcision, reasons for carrying out the practice, and the circumstances of the circumcision operations. These findings are compared with earlier southwest Nigerian and West African studies. The persistence of the practices is confirmed, but rapid change towards their medicalization is also established. Possible links with AIDS are discussed.</ce:simple-para></ce:abstract-sec></ce:abstract><ce:keywords><ce:section-title>Keywords</ce:section-title><ce:keyword><ce:text>circumcision</ce:text></ce:keyword><ce:keyword><ce:text>clitoridectomy</ce:text></ce:keyword><ce:keyword><ce:text>Africa</ce:text></ce:keyword><ce:keyword><ce:text>sub-Saharan Africa</ce:text></ce:keyword><ce:keyword><ce:text>Nigeria</ce:text></ce:keyword><ce:keyword><ce:text>AIDS</ce:text></ce:keyword></ce:keywords></head></converted-article></istex:document></istex:metadataXml><mods version="3.6"><titleInfo><title>Male and female circumcision in Africa from a regional to a specific Nigerian examination</title></titleInfo><titleInfo type="alternative" contentType="CDATA"><title>Male and female circumcision in Africa from a regional to a specific Nigerian examination</title></titleInfo><name type="personal"><namePart type="given">John C.</namePart><namePart type="family">Caldwell</namePart><affiliation>Health Transition Centre, National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 0200, Australia</affiliation><role><roleTerm type="text">author</roleTerm></role></name><name type="personal"><namePart type="given">I.O.</namePart><namePart type="family">Orubuloye</namePart><affiliation>Population and Health Research Centre, Ondo State University, PMB 5363, Ado-Ekiti, Ondo State, Nigeria</affiliation><role><roleTerm type="text">author</roleTerm></role></name><name type="personal"><namePart type="given">Pat</namePart><namePart type="family">Caldwell</namePart><affiliation>Health Transition Centre, National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 0200, Australia</affiliation><role><roleTerm type="text">author</roleTerm></role></name><typeOfResource>text</typeOfResource><genre type="research-article" displayLabel="Full-length article"></genre><originInfo><publisher>ELSEVIER</publisher><dateIssued encoding="w3cdtf">1997</dateIssued><copyrightDate encoding="w3cdtf">1997</copyrightDate></originInfo><language><languageTerm type="code" authority="iso639-2b">eng</languageTerm><languageTerm type="code" authority="rfc3066">en</languageTerm></language><physicalDescription><internetMediaType>text/html</internetMediaType></physicalDescription><abstract lang="en">There is a strong relationship between male and female circumcision in traditional thought and, north of the equator, in their practice by ethnic groups. The Southwest Nigeria Study, a 1994–1995 survey of 1749 males and 1976 females in Nigeria's Ondo, Oyo and Lagos States, is used to examine contemporary levels of circumcision, reasons for carrying out the practice, and the circumstances of the circumcision operations.
