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
