      #DYK Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) is one of the most effective prevention interventions for HIV/AIDS. @CDCgov supports VMMC, which has been shown to reduce the risk for heterosexually acquired HIV infection among males by approximately 60%. #PEPFAR15pic.twitter.com/j5jI3fmuOu

      #DYK that RCTs upon which this misleading statistic is based "were compromised by ... selection bias; inadequate blinding; problematic randomisation; trials stopped early with exaggerated treatment effects; and not investigating non-sexual transmission." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22320006

      #i2 "Why were so many participants lost to follow-up? Why did men in the male circumcision groups receive additional counselling on safe sex practices?" Ever bother answering these questions? Or has your obvious #culturalbias blunted your critical thinking?https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4364150/ …

      #i2 Also since the circ trials, NO analysis of how many in the circumcision group are on antiretroviral drugs, and separating the efficacy of ARV drugs vs circ, it's such bad science it's basically immoral because it has caused many men 2 abandon condoms and infect partners w HIV

      #i2 I guess one may hypothesize that maybe just maybe the researchers may have an unconscious bias something like "they're were Africans who were ravaged by HIV anyway, we gave them free circumcision, and we gave circumcision a pr boost in America?"

      Those RCTs could never have been conducted in a 1st world country precisely b/c of their unethical nature. The researchers went to Africa on a mission to 1) get "justification" for routine infant circumcision, 2) leave as soon as they thought they had it & 3) never look back #i2
