Ronald H. Gray is a North American circumcision proponent and biased researcher looking for justifications to roll-out mass circumcision programs around the world. He headed one of the three RCTs being used by the WHO to endorse circumcision as HIV prevention.[1][2][3][4][5] At their clinic, a music video promoting circumcision plays continuously.[6][7] He sometimes goes by the name Ron.[8]

Ronald Gray's RCT

Of the three RCTs being used by the WHO to promote circumcision as HIV prevention, Gray supervised the RCT that was carried out in Uganda.[9] Two other RCTs were supervised by Robert C. Bailey and Bertran Auvert respectively. All three RCTs were funded by the American National Institutes of Health.[10]

In 2010,[11] and again in 2011,[8] Gray published studies with Brian J. Morris.

The three RCTs that purport to show that circumcision reduces HIV infection have been 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.[12] Garenne & Matthews (2019) report that circumcised men have as much HIV infection as intact men.[13]

Quotes

We've never used surgery to prevent an infectious disease. It's a completely new concept, a new paradigm. How can we train all the surgeons to do this procedure and equip them.
Ronald H. Gray (JohnsHopkinsSPH)[14]
It's been hard to change policy, because this is a whole new paradigm. We've never used surgery to prevent an infectious disease. Policy makers have to really take some time to wrap their minds around it.
Ronald H. Gray (JohnsHopkinsSPH)[15]
It's taken longer than I would like to see these programs emerge.
Ronald H. Gray (JohnsHopkinsSPH)[16]
The Latest Fight Over Foreskin
If you were to ask me, should the U.S. be promoting circumcision, my answer would be, ‘no,’ What I do think ought to be the policy is that parents should be informed about the potential protective effects.
Ronald H. Gray (N.Y. Times)[17]
