AIDS Rampant Despite Billions On Supposed Prevention Programs

WASHINGTON, January 7, 2002 (LSN.ca) – Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy G. Thompson has promised more audits on so-called AIDS prevention programs after an investigation into one such program revealed abuses. The LA Times reports that an audit of the “Stop AIDS” project, in October, found that the federally supported San Francisco “prevention” agency was giving inappropriate and obscene workshops including one called the “Great Sex Workshop.”

Inspector General Janet Rehnquist, daughter of U.S. Chief Justice William Rehnquist, found that the workshops by the Stop AIDS Project appeared to directly promote homosexual sexual activity. She noted that, as such, it violated guidelines set out by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Stop AIDS received $698,000 from the CDC in fiscal 2000.

Jewish Rabbi David Eidensohn of the group Gender Central used the announcement to slam the fact that, due to lobbying by homosexual activists, AIDS is not successfully combated, as are other STDs, by reporting and quarantine. The CDC HIV/STD/TB Prevention News, of January 4, 2,001, reveals 42,008 new cases of HIV/AIDS in 2001, up 8 percent from the 38,864 in 2000 with New York City experiencing a 47-percent increase. Rabbi Eidensohn explained that “reporting means that someone who goes to a doctor for treatment of syphilis, or another STD, is reported, and must report all partners. If the person continues infecting, the health department can quarantine him.” He notes that the reporting program works but however, with HIV/AIDS it has not been tried. “From the beginning of the HIV epidemic decades ago, the Gay Lobby pressured gay-lobby states to make HIV Confidentiality Laws, which prevent regular public health epidemiologists from using their conventional and effective tools! to stop the epidemic,” says Rabbi Eidensohn.

U.S. Rep. Dave Weldon (R-Fla.), condemned the false prevention programs run by homosexual activists. “Where’s the data that all the billions we spent over the last 10 years has slowed or stemmed the spread of this disease?” asked Weldon, a former physician who treated AIDS patients. “Just because somebody wants the money—and claims it’s for a good purpose—does not mean we should necessarily keep giving it to them year in and year out.”
