Q: In this task, you are given a text of many news articles seperated by special token "|||||". Your task is to summarize them.
The World Health Organization has just published a doozy of a correction. In a 188-page report published last month on health issues in European countries, the WHO's European office said something very alarming: large numbers of Greek people were deliberately infecting themselves with HIV to get public benefits worth about $1,000 per month. This was causing HIV rates in Greece to rise "significantly," it warned, with about half of the new cases being self-inflicted. 
  
 Except it turns out that this is not true. The WHO explains, in a correction posted to its Web site Tuesday, that the authors of its report based this statement on a study in the medical journal Lancet. But that study found only a small number of anecdotal cases of Greek people infecting themselves with HIV to get benefit pay-outs. That's shocking enough on its own, but as the WHO now acknowledges, there's no evidence that this is a mass trend driving the very real spike in HIV rates. 
  
 You can still read the original line, unaltered, on page 112 of the WHO report. Here's the offending sentence, in a section about how the European financial crisis has affected public health in Greece: "HIV rates and heroin use have risen significantly, with about half of new HIV infections being self-inflicted to enable people to receive benefits of €700 per month and faster admission on to drug-substitution programmes." 
  
 Here's today's WHO correction, which is both laudably penitent and, this being the World Health Organization, bureaucratically circuitous in the way that only a massive intergovernmental organization can be: 
  
 In September 2013 the WHO Regional Office published a report “Review of social determinants and the health divide in the WHO European Region” which was prepared by the UCL Institute of Equity, United Kingdom. In this report, reference is made to: “HIV rates and heroin use have risen significantly, with about half of new HIV infections being self-inflicted to enable people to receive benefits of €700 per month and faster admission on to drug substitution programmes.” WHO wishes to point out that this statement is the consequence of an error in the editing phase of the document. The original source for the statement is a correspondence published in the Lancet by Alexander Kentikelenis and colleagues in September 2011. In this article, Kentikelenis mentions “accounts of deliberate self-infection by a few individuals to obtain access to benefits of €700 per month and faster admission onto drug substitution programmes,” based on the report of the “Ad hoc expert group of the Greek focal point on the outbreak of HIV/AIDS in 2011” (Greek Documentation and Monitoring Centre for Drug, 2011). WHO recognizes that there is no evidence suggesting that “deliberate self-infection with HIV” goes beyond few, anecdotal cases. At the same time WHO recognizes that Greece has reported an significant, 52% increase of new HIV infection in 2011 compared to the 2010, largely driven by infections among people who inject drugs in recent years. The reasons for this increase remain multifaceted and WHO welcomes efforts to of the ad hoc working group and other entities to fully understand the underlying reasons and recommend appropriate measures to extend the benefits of the comprehensive package of interventions for harm reduction to all people who inject drugs. 
  
 The lesson here: check your sources and follow the footnotes. ||||| The World Health Organisation (WHO) has been forced to backtrack after wrongly claiming Greeks were intentionally infecting themselves with HIV to claim benefits. 
  
 WHO said HIV rates had risen "significantly" in the debt-ridden country, with "about half" of new HIV infections self-inflicted, allowing people to receive benefits of €700 (£585) per month. 
  
 The report, prepared by University College London's Institute of Health Equity, said: "HIV rates and heroin use have risen significantly, with about half of new HIV infections being self-inflicted to enable people to receive benefits of €700 per month and faster admission on to drug substitution programmes." 
  
 The findings were reported by news organisations around the world, but after the claims came under further scrutiny, WHO was forced into a humiliating climbdown. 
  
 The organisation's head of public affairs Gregory Haertl said on Twitter that there had been a "typo" in the report, adding: "People r not giving themselves HIV in Greece to get benefits." 
  
 In an official statement, the WHO said the sentence should have read: "half of the new HIV cases are self-injecting and out of them few are deliberately inflicting the virus." 
  
 The organisation apologised for the error, which it blamed on "an error in the editing of the document". 
  
 It said the sources of the statement were 2011 reports from the Lancet and the Greek Documentation and Monitoring Centre for Drugs, which mentioned "accounts of deliberate self-infliction by a few individuals". 
  
 The WHO said: "Greece has reported a significant, 52% increase of new HIV infection in 2011 compared to the 2010, largely driven by infections among people who inject drugs in recent years. 
  
 "The reasons for this increase remain multifaceted and WHO welcomes efforts of the ad hoc working group and other entities to fully understand the underlying reasons and recommend appropriate measures to extend the benefits of the comprehensive package of interventions for harm reduction to all people who inject drugs." 
  
 Figures from the Hellenic Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, also known as Keelpno, showed the HIV infection rate in Greece has nearly tripled in 10 years - up from 3.9 in every 100,000 people in 2003 to 10.9 in 2012. 
  
 There were 1,180 HIV infections last year compared with 434 in 2003, while the disease was transmitted through injections in around a tenth (8.9%) of cases in 2012. 
  
 The majority of infections (53%) occur among Greek men aged 25-39. 
  
 Prostitution also increased, "probably as a response to economic hardship", it said, adding that Greeks were less likely than they were in 2007 to visit a doctor or dentist when they were feeling unwell. 
  
 Greece is going through its sixth consecutive year of recession amid brutal austerity cuts. 
  
 The country has twice been bailed out by the international community, although its draft budget for 2014 predicts economic growth of 0.6% next year. ||||| In September 2013, WHO/Europe published “Review of social determinants and the health divide in the WHO European Region”. The report incorrectly states that, in Greece: “HIV rates and heroin use have risen significantly, with about half of new HIV infections being self-inflicted to enable people to receive benefits of €700 per month and faster admission on to drug substitution programmes”. 
  
 In fact, what is accurate to say is that slightly more than half of Greece’s new HIV cases are among those who inject drugs. WHO recognizes that there is no evidence suggesting that deliberate self-infection with HIV goes beyond a few anecdotal cases. The statement is the consequence of an error in the editing of the report, for which WHO apologizes. 
  
 The original source is correspondence published in the “Lancet” by Alexander Kentikelenis and colleagues in September 2011. Kentikelenis et al. mention “accounts of deliberate self-infection by a few individuals to obtain access to benefits of €700 per month and faster admission onto drug substitution programmes”, based on the report of the “Ad hoc expert group of the Greek focal point on the outbreak of HIV/AIDS in 2011” (Athens: Greek Documentation and Monitoring Centre for Drugs; 2011). 
  
 Greece reported a significant increase (52%) in new HIV infections from 2010 to 2011, largely driven by infections among people who inject drugs. The causes for this increase are multifaceted and WHO welcomes the work of the ad hoc expert group and other entities to improve understanding of them and to recommend appropriate measures to extend the benefits of the comprehensive package of interventions for harm reduction to all people who inject drugs.

A:
This part is not in dispute: Greece has seen a worrisome spike in HIV cases, with the number up 52% in 2011 from 2010. But in a report last month, the World Health Organization made a jaw-dropping assertion, that about half of the new cases were the result of people deliberately infecting themselves so they could collect about $1,000 a month in benefits, reports the Washington Post. Today, WHO published what Sky News calls a "humiliating" correction: Turns out, that claim is utterly untrue. WHO chalks it up to an editing error. While it is true that more than half of the new cases involve people who inject drugs, "there is no evidence suggesting that deliberate self-infection with HIV goes beyond a few anecdotal cases," it explains. The original WHO report cited a study in the Lancet about those "few" cases, and it somehow got translated into "half" of new cases in the resulting report.
