Elijah Odoyo-June is a medical doctor with postgraduate training in public health and a Ph.D.[a 1] in Tropical and infectious Diseases. He has over 20 years of progressive responsibilities in clinical and preventive health care including research experience in the fields of Reproductive health, HIV/AIDS, health systems development in Kenya and Malawi. His recent research experiences in male circumcision include coordination of long term follow up of clients enrolled in the Randomized controlled trial of Male Circumcision for HIV prevention in Kisumu Kenya, study of wound healing following medical circumcision of HIV +ve and HIV-ve adult males in Kisumu; safety and acceptability of Early Infant Male circumcision in Kisumu, study of effectiveness and safety of PrePex for circumcision in Kenya and active AE surveillance for ShangRing circumcision.
He currently serves as technical lead for CDC/PEPFAR supported Medical Male circumcision program in Kenya; providing technical and programmatic guidance for all aspects of VMMC implementation. As long serving member of Kenya’s national VMMC TWG he has a rich experience in development of standard operating procedures and guidelines for VMMC service delivery in Kenya and other African countries.[2]
Odoyo-June is currently employed by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to actively promote non-therapeutic male circumcision in Africa. PubMed reveals that he is a named author of twenty-one papers, all of which promote non-therapeutic male circumcision in some way. Robert C. Bailey is a co-author of thirteen of the articles. It would be hard to conceive of a person more biased in favor of non-theapeutic male circumcision.
