PEPFAR ignominiously ended the provision of non-therapeutic [[circumcision]] of boys under age 15 in November 2019 due to significant, complications, injuries, and other abuses.
==Reimagining PEPFAR's Strategic Direction==
This document, ''Reimagining PEPFAR's Strategic Direction'', published in September 2022, provides new directions for PEPFAR's fight against the ''HIV'' pandemic. The document is entirely silent on male and female circumcision, although male circumcision was the cornerstone of the previous effort to prevent HIV infection and PEPFAR formerly proudly trumpeted the 27,700,000+ circumcisions (AKA genital mutilations) in Africa that it had sponsored. It is unclear if PEPFAR will continue to promote circumcision, which has been demonstrated to be ineffective.<ref name="reimagining2022">{{REFdocument
