Stephen Moses, Professor, Departments of Medical Microbiology, Community Health Sciences and Medicine. Stephen Moses has been a circumcision proponent since at least 1994.[1] Moses (along with Robert C. Bailey) was responsible for one of the three major African circumcision trials (funded by NIAID and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research)[2] which are being used by the World Health Organization (under the guide of UNAIDS) to endorse circumcision as an HIV prevention method.[3]
Interests
According to Stephen's bio, his interest is in biological and behavioural risk factors for STI/HIV transmission.[4] Moses has been an advocate of circumcision since at least 1994.[1]
RCT in Kenya
Three trials were funded by the American National Institutes of Health.[5]Of the three RCTs being used by the WHO to endorse circumcision as HIV prevention, Stephen Moses and Robert C. Bailey headed the RCT that was carried out in Kenya.[6] Moses obviously brought his pre-existing bias in favor of male circumcision into the trial, so he did not start from a neutral position.
Moses' research on circumcision protection from HIV infection is now completely discredited. Boyle & Hill (2011) reviewed the three randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and found disabling methodological and statistical errors in all three. Although a 60 percent relative reduction in HIV was claimed, the absolute reduction was a statistically insignificant 1.3 percent.[7] Garenne & Matthews (2019) report that circumcised men have as much HIV infection as intact men.[8]
