We were very careful to recommend them to abstain from sex for 44 days, which is about 6 weeks after the surgical procedure, in order that they didn't have any risk of getting infected by HIV during this healing period." | In a Medscape interview, Bertran was asked, "in the group of men who were circumcised, I understand from the presentation that they were advised not to engage in sexual relations for approximately 5 weeks in order to recovery from the surgery.

Bertran Auvert is a biased pro-circumcision researcher of French origin who has been a circumcision proponent since at least 2003.[1][2] Auvert was responsible for one of the three latest African circumcision trials, [3] which are being used by the World Health Organization to endorse circumcision as an HIV prevention method.[4] He associates with the Gilgal Society,[5] and is good friends with Bill Gates.[6]
Contents
Auvert's Circumcision Study
An RCT funded by the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH)[7] was carried out in Orange Farm, South Africa under the supervision of Bertran Auvert.[8] The British medical journal the Lancet decided against publishing Bertran's study. Lancet officials, following standard policy at the journal, refused to comment on why the study was turned down.[9]
In a Medscape interview, Bertran was asked, "in the group of men who were circumcised, I understand from the presentation that they were advised not to engage in sexual relations for approximately 5 weeks in order to recovery from the surgery. Is that correct?" Bertran replied, "Yes. We were very careful to recommend them to abstain from sex for 44 days, which is about 6 weeks after the surgical procedure, in order that they didn't have any risk of getting infected by HIV during this healing period." [10] Later in the interview he says "We also have 2 ongoing trials in Uganda and Kenya." (Notice the word "We" here.)
