'''Seth Kalichman''' is a Jewish Clinical-Community Psychologist and Professor of Psychology at the {{UNI|University of Connecticut|UConn}}, and the editor of ''[[AIDS ]] and Behavior'', a leading social and behavioral science peer-reviewed journal.<ref>{{REFweb | quote= | url=http://www.blogger.com/profile/01715826946361587097 | title=Seth Kalichman | last=Kalichman | first=Seth | publisher=Google | workwebsite=Blogger | date=2011 | accessdate=2011-04-14}}</ref> Kalichman has published 5 peer-reviewed papers on [[circumcision and HIV]].<ref>{{REFweb | quote= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=Seth%20Kalichman%20circumcision | title=Seth Kalichman circumcision | last=Kalichman | first=Seth | publisher=PubMed | workwebsite=NCBI | date=2011 | accessdate=2011-04-14

As a Jew, a psychologist and a [[circumcised]] man, Kalichman should have been aware of the psychological issues that drive [[circumcised]] men to produce such works as Genesis 17 and the three African randomized controlled trials (RCTs). He was totally wrong about the RCTs and the efficacy of male [[circumcision]] at preventing female to male HIV infection.

Below, Kalichman promotes an outrageous [[human rights ]] violation that is implausible and frightening.

The following is a bizarre response from Kalichman--— most likely sarcasm, yet never the less disturbing--— which could demonstrate a mental instability, or (minimally) at least a sign of unnerved breakdown.{{citation needed}}

{{Population-based studies}}
==Two African surveys==
The previously reported studies were from developed Western nations. Now we have information from Sub_Saharan Africa.
French scientist [[Michel Garenne]], Ph.D. has published two reports in 2022 comparing the incidence of HIV infection in [[circumcised]] and [[intact]] men.
In his first report, Garenne presented the findings from a study in Lesotho, the enclave in South Africa. He reported:
<blockquote>
In couple studies, the effect of circumcision and VMMC on HIV was not significant, with similar transmission from female to male and male to female. The study questions the amount of effort and money spent on VMMC in Lesotho.<ref name="garenne2022A">{{REFjournal

In his second report, Garenne (2022) presented information from six Sub-Saharan African nations (Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe). He reported:
