Ronald Gray '''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' is a North American circumcision proponent and biased researcher looking for justifications to roll-out mass [[circumcision ]] programs around the world. He headed one of the three RCTs {{#tip-text:RCT|Randomized controlled trial}}s being used by the [[WHO]] to endorse circumcision as [[HIV ]] prevention.<ref>{{cite webREFweb |last=WHO (World Health Organization) |title=Information Package on Male Circumcision and HIV Prevention (Insert 1) | url = httphttps://www.who.int/hiv/mediacentrepub/malecircumcision/infopack_en_1.pdf |format=PDF |date=2007-03-26 |accessdate=2020-03-26}}</ref><ref>{{REFweb |last=WHO (World Health Organization) | title = Information Package on Male Ci rcumcision Circumcision and HIV Prevention(Insert 2) (Document unreadable!) |url=https://www.who.int/hiv/pub/malecircumcision/infopack_en_2.pdf |format=PDF |date=2007-03-26 | accessdate = 20112020-0503-0726}}</ref><ref>{{REFweb | publisher last= WHO (World Health Organization) |title=Information Package on Male Circumcision and HIV Prevention (Insert 3) |url=https://www.who.int/hiv/pub/malecircumcision/infopack_en_3.pdf |format=PDF |date=2007-03-26 |accessdate=2020-03-26}}</ref><ref>{{REFweb |last=WHO (World Health Organization) |title=Information Package on Male Circumcision and HIV Prevention (Insert 4) |url=https://www.who.int/hiv/pub/malecircumcision/infopack_en_4.pdf |format=PDF |date=2007-03-26 |accessdate=2020-03-26}}</ref><ref>{{REFweb |last=WHO (World Health Organization) |title=Information Package on Male Circumcision and HIV Prevention (Insert 5) |url=https://www.who.int/hiv/pub/malecircumcision/infopack_en_5.pdf |format=PDF |date=2008-11-05 |accessdate=2020-03-26}}</ref> At [[Rakai Project|their clinic]], a music video promoting [[circumcision ]] plays continuously.<ref>{{cite webREFweb |last=JohnsHopkinsSPH |first= |date=2010-10-01 |title=Rakai Project | url = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mXFdXJaG8k#t=8m37s | title = Rakai Project | accessdate = 2011-04-10 | date = 2010-10-01 | work = JohnsHopkinsSPH | publisher = YouTube}}</ref><ref>{{cite webREFweb | url last=smugamba |first= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v |date=0rtEdNl322Q2010-06-06 | title = Rakai Male Circumcision Video By Stephen Mugamba Feat Jemima Sanyu.mpg |url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rtEdNl322Q | accessdate = 2011-04-10 | date = 2010-06-06 | work = smugamba | publisher = YouTube}}</ref> He sometimes goes by the name Ron.<ref name="Morris-Cancer">{{cite journalREFjournal | title last= The Strong Protective Effect of Circumcision Against Cancer of the PenisMorris | journal first= Advanced in UrologyBrian J. | date init= 2011BJ |author-03-09link=Brian J.

== Ronald Gray's RCT ==
Of the three RCTs {{#tip-text:RCT|Randomized controlled trial}}s being used by the [[WHO ]] to promote circumcision as [[HIV ]] prevention, Gray supervised the {{#tip-text:RCT |Randomized controlled trial}} that was carried out in Uganda.<ref>{{RCT Gray RH. Kigozi G, Serwadda D, et al. Male circumcision for HIV prevention in men in Rakai, Uganda: a randomised trial. Lancet 2007;369:557-66.}}</ref> Two other RCTs {{#tip-text:RCT|Randomized controlled trial}}s were supervised by [[Robert C. Bailey]] and [[Bertran Auvert]] respectively. All three RCTs {{#tip-text:RCT|Randomized controlled trial}}s were funded by the American [[National Institutes of Health]].<ref name='DOC 2008'> {{cite web REFweb | url quote= http...funding from the United States National Institutes of Health to conduct randomized controlled trials ({{#tip-text://wwwRCT|Randomized controlled trial}}s) in Africa. |last= |first= |publisher=[[Doctors Opposing Circumcision (D.O.doctorsopposingcircumcisionC.org )]] |date=2008 | title = The Use of Male Circumcision to Prevent HIV Infection | accessdate = 2011-03-05 | date = 2008 | publisher = Doctors Opposing Circumcision | archiveurl url= http://www.doctorsopposingcircumcision.org/info/HIVStatement.html | archivedate accessdate= 2011-03-05 | quote = ...funding from the United States National Institutes of Health to conduct randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in Africa.}}</ref>

}}</ref> and again in 2011,<ref name="Morris-Cancer"/> Gray published studies with [[Brian J. Morris]].
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 |last=Garenne |init=M |author-link=Michel Garenne |last2=Matthews |init2=A |author2-link= |etal=no |title=Voluntary medical male circumcision and HIV in Zambia: expectations and observations |trans-title= |language= |journal=J Biosoc Science |location= |date=2019-10-01 |volume=14 |issue= |pages=1-13 |url= |quote= |pubmedID=31608845 |pubmedCID= |DOI=10.1017/S0021932019000634 |accessdate=2020-03-25}}</ref>
