'''Bill Clinton ''' served as the 42nd President of the United States from 1993 to 2001. He still makes public appearances and regularly endorses and promotes male [[circumcision]], often teaming up with other circumcision advocates such as former [[UNAIDS]] leader, [[Stephen H. Lewis|Stephen Lewis]], and Microsoft co-founder [[Bill Gates]].
== Bill Clinton's Circumcision Advocacy circumcision advocacy ==At the 16th International Conference on [[AIDS]], former US President Bill Clinton called for the world to prepare to tackle the cultural taboos surrounding circumcision, claiming it protects men and the women they sleep with from [[AIDS]]. Clinton went on to say that the [[United States ]] is spending more to fight [[HIV ]] than any other government. Clinton joined Microsoft co-founder [[Bill Gates]] in praising President George W. Bush's [[PEPFAR|President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief]] (PEPFAR).<refname="Ynetnews2006">{{REFnews | last= Brackman | first=Rabbi Levi | coauthorsfirst2=Rivkah |last2=Lubitch | url=http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3291902,00.html | title=Clinton: Circumcision - the answer to AIDS | date=Aug 2006-08-16, 2006 | publisher=Reuters, Ynetnews | quote= | accessdate=

==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:
<blockquote>
"Results matched earlier observations made in South Africa that [[circumcised]] and [[intact]] men had similar levels of HIV infection."<ref name="garenne2022B">{{REFjournal
