The risk of female genital mutilations (FGM) on HIV/AIDS infection was evaluated at the Ethiopian and Somalian refugee camp in Djibouti, horn of Africa. Sixty-one women out of 63 (96.8%), were mutilated of their genitals. Infibulations (FGM type III, WHO classification) were commonly practiced on 72.1 % (44/61), and clitoridectomy and/or excision of the labia (FGM type I and II) was performed on 27.8% (17/61) of the women . Fifty-six women (88.9%, 56/63) consented to give blood for the investigation of HIV/AIDS antibody . The Sunna type of FGM (type I and II) was common in Ethiopian women (80%, 16/20) Pharaonic type of FGM (type III) was common in Somalian women (95.3%, 41/43) . No HIV positive case was found in Somalian women, in contrast to prevalence of 37.5 % (6/16) in Ethiopian women . Pharaonic FGM (infibulations) may have a protective role against HIV/AIDS since it decrease sexual activity before marriage. Female genital mutilations are not recommended because it increases other health problems-gynecological infection, maternal complication during delivery and mental trauma. The effort to eliminate the female genital mutilations should be organized to promote reproductive health in Africa.
