Abstract：
Public health initiatives in Zambia encourage the uptake of early infant male circumcision (EIMC) as an HIV prevention strategy. This study assessed EIMC parental decision-making during perinatal care in Lusaka, Zambia, focusing on the influence of sociodemographic factors, family, and friends. A longitudinal pilot perinatal intervention, Like Father Like Son (LFLS), was implemented among 300 couples attending antenatal clinics in four urban community health centers. Participants were assessed postpartum regarding subsequent EIMC decisions. Partners, religion, and marital status were associated with the EIMC decision-making. Large scale EIMC promotion interventions that target both parents during perinatal care should be explored.
