== Issues with the 2016 circumcision position statement ==


The 2015 statement clearly was heavily influenced by the now thoroughly discredited and expired (2017) [[American Academy of Pediatrics]] 2012 Circumcision Policy Statement. Furthermore, it bizarrely includes a reference to a paper on [[urinary tract infection]] by circumcision promoters [[Brian J. Morris]] and [[Thomas E. Wiswell]]. The statement touts circumcision to prevent HIV infection, however a massive population study in Canada found that circumcision status has no effect on prevention of HIV infection.<ref name="mayan2021">{{REFjournal
