Ronald Gray '''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' 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 {{#tip-text:RCT|Randomized controlled trial}}s being used by the [[WHO]] to endorse circumcision as [[HIV ]] prevention.<ref>{{REFweb | last=WHO (World Health Organization) |title=Information Package on Male Circumcision and HIV Prevention (Insert 1) |url=https://www.who.int/hiv/pub/malecircumcision/infopack_en_1.pdf |format=PDF |date=2007-03-26 |accessdate=2020-03-26}}</ref><ref>{{REFweb |last=WHO (World Health Organization) |title=Information Package on Male Circumcision and HIV Prevention (Insert 2) (Document unreadable!) |url=https://www.who.int/hiv/pub/malecircumcision/infopack_en_2.pdf |format=PDF |date=2007-03-26 |accessdate=2020-03-26}}</ref><ref>{{REFweb |last=WHO (World Health Organization) |title=Information Package on Male Circumcision and HIV Prevention (Insert 3) |url=https://www.who.int/hiv/pub/malecircumcision/infopack_en_3.pdf |format=PDF |date=2007-03-26 | firstaccessdate=2020-03-26}}</ref><ref>{{REFweb | yearlast=WHO (World Health Organization) | title=Information Package on Male Circumcision and HIV Prevention(Insert 4) | url=httphttps://www.who.int/hiv/mediacentrepub/infopack_en_1malecircumcision/infopack_en_4.pdf |format=PDF |date=2007-03-26 | accessdate=20112020-03-26}}</ref><ref>{{REFweb |last=WHO (World Health Organization) |title=Information Package on Male Circumcision and HIV Prevention (Insert 5) |url=https://www.who.int/hiv/pub/malecircumcision/infopack_en_5.pdf |format=PDF |date=2008-11-05 |accessdate=2020-0703-26}}</ref> At [[Rakai Project|their clinic]], a music video promoting [[circumcision ]] plays continuously.<ref>{{REFweb | last=JohnsHopkinsSPH | first= | yeardate=2010-10-01 | title=Rakai Project | url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mXFdXJaG8k#t=8m37s | accessdate=2011-04-10

== Ronald Gray's RCT ==
Of the three RCTs {{#tip-text:RCT|Randomized controlled trial}}s being used by the [[WHO ]] to promote circumcision as [[HIV ]] prevention, Gray supervised the {{#tip-text:RCT |Randomized controlled trial}} that was carried out in Uganda.<ref>{{RCT Gray RH. Kigozi G, Serwadda D, et al. Male circumcision for HIV prevention in men in Rakai, Uganda: a randomised trial. Lancet 2007;369:557-66.}}</ref> Two other RCTs {{#tip-text:RCT|Randomized controlled trial}}s were supervised by [[Robert C. Bailey]] and [[Bertran Auvert]] respectively. All three RCTs {{#tip-text:RCT|Randomized controlled trial}}s were funded by the American [[National Institutes of Health]].<ref name='DOC 2008'>{{REFweb | quote=...funding from the United States National Institutes of Health to conduct randomized controlled trials (RCTs{{#tip-text:RCT|Randomized controlled trial}}s) in Africa. | last= | first= | publisher=[[Doctors Opposing Circumcision(D.O.C.)]] | date=2008 | title=The Use of Male Circumcision to Prevent HIV Infection | url=http://www.doctorsopposingcircumcision.org/info/HIVStatement.html | accessdate=2011-03-05

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.<ref name="boyle-hill2011">{{BoyleGJ HillG 2011}}</ref> [[Michel Garenne|Garenne]] & Matthews (2019) report that [[circumcised]] men have as much [[HIV]] infection as [[intact]] men.<ref>{{REFjournal
