== Inflated male circumcision data ==
In 2021, a fact-checking study by the US [[CDC]] has confirmed as false previous data claiming ridiculously high male circumcision rates in Kenya’s HIV control programme. The report published on Thursday (July 15, 2021) in the journal Plos One says the fact-checking had been provoked by conflicting reports of huge success and yet persistent high demand suggesting a need for more funding. The 2018 report had claimed success rates of more than 100 per cent in Kisumu, Siaya, Homa Bay and Migori counties.<ref>{{REFnews
