Use of HIV to promote circumcision in China
==Use of HIV to promote circumcision in China==

Boyle|Boyle]] & [[George Hill|Hill]] (2011) studied their reports and found disabling methodological and statistical errors that invalidated their purported findings.<ref name="boyle-hill2011">{{BoyleGJ HillG 2011}}</ref> Regardless of these findings, Chinese medical doctors seem to be pushing for adoption of circumcision to prevent [[HIV]] infection. Numerous papers in the Chinese medical literature advocate circumcision to prevent HIV infection among both heterosexuals and homosexuals.
