Of the three {{#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 et al 2007}}</ref> Two other {{#tip-text:RCT|Randomized controlled trial}}s were supervised by [[Robert C. Bailey]] and [[Bertran Auvert]] respectively. All three {{#tip-text:RCT|Randomized controlled trial}}s were funded by the American [[National Institutes of Health]].<ref name='DOC 2008'>{{REFweb

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
