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.
== Quotes ==
Below, Kalichman promotes an outrageous [[human rights ]] violation that is implausible and frightening.
{{Citation
|Title=Views on Male Circumcision
}}
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}}
{{Citation
|Title=Downplaying Inherent Bias? Or Instability.
|Text=I am biased in my interpretation of 20 years of epidemiological research and three randomized controlled trials because I am Jewish. It is the medical establishment, run by Jews, that is conspiring to promote male circumcision for [[HIV]] prevention. It is no coincidence that the leading circumcision researcher is named Moses. Yes, I want every male child [[circumcised ]] because that will make them Jews and we can take over the world, not just the Liberal Media and banks. Now that I am talking Crazy, do you understand me better?

==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
