Elijah Odoyo-June is member of the 2018 Guideline Development Group (GDG) of the WHO. The GDG's task is to develop updated recommendations on safe male circumcision for HIV prevention and related service delivery for adolescent boys and men in generalized HIV epidemics.[1]

Biography

The WHO published the following biography of Elijah Odoyo-June:

Odoyo-June, Elijah

  • US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Kenya
  • MBChB[a 1], M.S.[a 2], Ph.D.[a 3]
  • Nairobi, Kenya

Elijah Odoyo-June is a medical doctor with postgraduate training in public health and a Ph.D.[a 3] 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.

Population-based studies

September 2021 saw the publication of two huge population studies on the relationship of circumcision and HIV infection:

  1. 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.[3]
  2. 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.[4]

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.
