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
