Conclusion
The correction clarifies the HIV incidence rates and follow-up data for different religious groups in the male circumcision trial.
Supporting Evidence
- Catholic or Protestant group had 5 HIV cases with a follow-up of 576 person-years.
- Others group had 25 HIV cases with a follow-up of 1,845 person-years.
Takeaway
There was a mistake in reporting HIV cases and rates for two groups in a study about male circumcision and HIV risk, and this correction fixes that.
