→Male circumcision: Add text and reference.
===Male circumcision===
The WHO has maintained a difficult, erroneous, and unsatisfactory position on male circumcision (MC) to prevent female to male [[HIV]] infection at least since 2007.''The Lancet'' published reports of two African RCTs in February 2007 and the WHO immediately convened a conference at Montreux, Switzerland on 6–8 March 2007 to consider the reports. In a rush to judgment, the meeting prepared detailed recommendations for the adoption of male circumcision as prophylaxis against HIV infection. The recommendations became official policy on 28 March 2007.<ref>{{REFjournal |last=Dowsett |first=Gary W. |init= |author-link= |last2=Couch |first2=Murray |init2= |author2-link= |etal=no |title=Male circumcision and HIV prevention: is there really enough of the right kind of evidence? |trans-title= |language= |journal=Reprod Health Matters |location= |date=2007-05 |volume=15 |issue=29 |article= |page= |pages=33-44 |url=http://www.cirp.org/library/disease/HIV/dowsett2007/ |archived= |quote= |pubmedID=17512372 |pubmedCID= |DOI= |accessdate=}}</ref>
