           Feds Spent $800,000 of Economic Stimulus on African Genital-Washing Program

(CNSNews.com) – The National Institute of Mental
Health (NIMH), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH),
spent $823,200 of economic stimulus funds in 2009 on a study by a UCLA
research team to teach uncircumcised African men how to wash their
genitals after having sex.



The genitalia-washing program is part of a larger $12-million UCLA study
examining how to better encourage Africans to undergo voluntary HIV
testing and counseling – however, only the penis-washing study received
money from the 2009 economic stimulus law. The washing portion of the
study is set to end in 2011.



"NIH Announces the Availability of Recovery Act Funds for
Competitive Revision Applications,” the grant abstract states. "We
propose to evaluate the feasibility of a post-coital genital hygiene
study among men unwilling to be circumcised in Orange Farm, South
Africa.”



Because AIDS researchers have been unsuccessful in convincing most
adult African men to undergo circumcision, the UCLA study proposes to
determine whether researchers can develop an after-sex
genitalia-washing regimen that they can then convince uncircumcised
African men to follow.



"The aim of the proposed feasibility study is to evaluate the
feasibility and acceptability of a post-coital male genital hygiene
procedure, which participants will be asked to practice immediately
post-coitus or at least 12 hours after,” reads the abstract.



Entitled "Community-Based HIV VCT: South Africa,” the name of the
broader umbrella project, the program plans to test how well received
the penis-washing regimen is among South African men.



If most of the men in the study wash their genitals after sex, are
willing to do so after the study ends, and report that their partners
accept the regimen, the researchers will develop another study to see
if the "penile cleansing procedure” actually works to prevent HIV
infections.



"If we find that men are able to practice consistent washing
practices after sex, we will plan to test whether this might protect
men from becoming HIV infected in a later study,” the grant says.



The study’s lead investigator Dr. Thomas J. Coates was the fourth highest-funded researcher in the country in 2002 and is currently conducting HIV research on three continents.



CNSNews.com asked both Coates and NIMH the following question: "The
Census Bureau says the median household income in the United States is
$52,000. How would you explain to the average American mom and dad ––
who make $52,000 per year –– that taxing them to pay for this grant was
justified?”



Coates, who was unavailable for comment, directed CNSNews.com to ask
grant-related questions of his assistant, Darya Freedman, who did
not respond.



The NIMH also declined to respond to CNSNews.com’s question.





Awesome

The 0.25 time, they only needed his genitals so they paid a reduced temp rate.

And you people keep saying the government isn't efficient!

Somehow I think that people who believe that raping a baby will cure AIDS will be unimpressed by someone telling them that they need to wash their cocks after sex.
