Bailey]] headed the {{#tip-text:RCT|Randomized controlled trial}} that was carried out in Kenya.<ref>Bailey RC, Moses S, Parker CB, et al. Male circumcision for [[HIV ]] prevention in young men in Kisumu, Kenya: a randomised controlled trial. ''Lancet'' 2007;369:643-56. [http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(07)60312-2/abstract Abstract]</ref> Moses obviously brought his pre-existing bias in favor of male circumcision into the trial, so he did not start from a neutral position.
Moses' research on circumcision protection from [[HIV ]] infection is now 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> Garenne & Matthews (2019) report that circumcised men have as much [[HIV ]] infection as intact men.<ref>{{REFjournal
