Abstract: In this research, we have been able to establish the mathematical model of male circumcision in HIV/AIDS preventions. This could be a traditional ritual, religious rituals or medical procedure circumcision. The model is formulated under several assumptions.The steady states were established, and shown that these steady states are stable if (σ + μ) > −B and σ > −(μ + vc ). From the analysis of the model, we observed that if the sum of the rate of death due to natural incidence (μ) and that due to infection is reduced (vc ) while the rate of circumcision is increased, this will bring the reproduction number of infectious process to less than one and the epidemic will die out of the system.
