    Part of the issue is the falling credibility of UNAIDS in their support of male circumcision following the (cut-short to influence the outcome) African trials, which reported an absolute reduction on 1.3% (averaged across the three trials) and where many times the number supposedly protected were lost from the trials. A follow-up trial to demonstrate the protective effect of male circumcision to women was abandoned due to 'futility' after a 50% increased rate of infection was observed.

    The African studies impressed no-one, save for the WHO and UNAIDS, who are allowing vested interests to comprimise proven strategies in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
