1/2 - Three randomized, controlled clinical trials, scores of observational studies, @WHO @UNAIDS @CDCgov and @AmerAcadPeds say #circumcision significantly reduces the risk of female-to-male transmission of #hiv. But nothing’s 100%.
Thanks for pointing out the facts about those RCTs - & the way pro-cutters have disingenuously misrepresented them through statistics they know most people won't understand. #i2 #tweetiatrician #PutKids1st
The RCTs' many other flaws are detailed here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/278023840_Critique_of_African_RCTs_into_Male_Circumcision_and_HIV_Sexual_Transmission …
"What then, should we think about researchers who…misinterpret their results, report their results selectively, cite the literature selectively, and draw unjustified conclusions? We should be appalled." Yes, we SHOULD be, but for pro-cutters, it's, well, Thursday. #i2 #MedEd
No wonder these RCTs - never replicated, more than a decade old & the basis of a crusade to #circumcise Africa that is utterly failing to curb #HIV there - are considered by int'l medical consensus to be an insufficient rationale for infant #circumcision. https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/pediatrics/131/4/796.full.pdf …
