Seth Kalichman is a Clinical-Community Psychologist and Professor of Psychology at the University of Connecticut, and the editor of AIDS and Behavior, a leading social and behavioral science peer-reviewed journal.[1] Kalichman has published 5 peer-reviewed papers on circumcision and HIV.[2]
Quotes
Below, Kalichman promotes an outrageous human rights violation that is implausible and frightening.
| “ | Views on Male Circumcision If every male baby in southern Africa were to receive MC we would see a huge reduction, dare I say near elimination, of HIV in a couple generations.[3] |
The following is a bizarre response from Kalichman--most likely sarcasm, yet never the less disturbing--which could demonstrate a mental instability, or (minimally) at least a sign of unnerved breakdown. [This information needs a citation or reference.]
| “ | Downplaying Inherent Bias? Or Instability. I am biased in my interpretation of 20 years of epidemiological research and three randomized controlled trials because I am Jewish. It is the medical establishment, run by Jews, that is conspiring to promote male circumcision for HIV prevention. It is no coincidence that the leading circumcision researcher is named Moses. Yes, I want every male child circumcised because that will make them Jews and we can take over the world, not just the Liberal Media and banks. Now that I am talking Crazy, do you understand me better? – Kalichman, S.[4] |
Population-based studies
September 2021 saw the publication of two huge population studies on the relationship of circumcision and HIV infection:
- Mayan et al. (2021) carried out a massive empirical study of the male population of the province of Ontario, Canada (569,950 males), of whom 203,588 (35.7%) were circumcised between 1991 and 2017. The study concluded that circumcision status is not related to risk of HIV infection.[5]
- Morten Frisch & Jacob Simonsen (2021) carried out a large scale empirical population study in Denmark of 855,654 males regarding the alleged value of male circumcision in preventing HIV and other sexually transmitted infections in men. They found that circumcised men have a higher rate of STI and HIV infection overall than intact men.[6]
No association between lack of circumcision and risk of HIV infection was found by either study. There now is credible evidence that the massive, expensive African circumcision programs have not been effective in preventing HIV infection.
