===Male circumcision===
The WHO has maintained a difficult, erroneous, and unsatisfactory position on male circumcision (MC) to prevent female to male [[HIV]] infection at least since 2007. ''The Lancet'' published reports of two African RCTs in February 2007 and the WHO immediately convened a conference at Montreux, Switzerland on 6–8 March 2007 to consider the reports. In a rush to judgment, the meeting prepared detailed recommendations for the adoption of male circumcision as prophylaxis against HIV infection. The recommendations became official policy on 28 March 2007.<ref>{{REFjournal

The WHO has promoted male circumcision, mainly in Africa for 14 years, during which time tens of millions of African males have suffered circumcision, a form of [[MGM| male genital mutilation]].
This circumcision policy originated before Tedros became Director-General, however he has now had nearly five years to reform it, but has ''not'' done so. It may be because of the very large contributions from the [[Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation]] and the fear of offending [[Bill Gates]], which are both advocates of [[circumcision]].
It may also be due to the influence of [[David R. Tomlinson]] who has invented several circumcision devices, including the [[AccuCirc]], which he merchandises. Tomlinson is the WHO adviser on circumcision, so he is unlikely to recommend against circumcision due to his apparent conflict-of interest.
The [[bias]] toward male circumcision may also come from the [[World_Health_Organization#Guideline_Development_Group_.28GDG.29| Guideline Development Group]], which is a large committee charged with the task of recommending "new guidelines on male circumcision". A survey of the committee revealed that it is overwhelmingly peopled with circumcision-biased individuals.
Large population-based surveys show that male circumcision has little or no effect on preventing 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.<ref name="mayan2021">{{REFjournal

# [[Morten Frisch]] and 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.<ref name="frisch2021">{{FrischM SimonsenJ 2021}}</ref>
Whatever the influences may be, Tedros has done nothing in his nearly five-years in office to reform the mess that he inherited when he took office, so the genital mutilation ([[MGM]]) of boys and men by [[Adolescent and adult circumcision| circumcision]] continues.
