Your Tax Dollars spent on African Genital-Washing Program
Admittedly , I had to look twice to make sure this wasn't some sort of sick joke .....
Gotta Love the US of A..........
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.

Presumably this Happy Chap has only just had his Tackle Cleaned

Science and medicine already proved wrong the misconception that circumcised men don't acquire or pass on STDs as easily as non-circumcised men...
So what was this about, really?

Honestly , Really ?...ok ,
Just pointing out that the massive programmes ala Tarp etc which were supposed to " Jump Start " the US economy are doing nothing of the kind .
Although the programme is commendable , I'm certain there are equally commendable underfunded projects in the US .
Just because I highlighted an African Programme , that in itself is not discriminatory .
Could easily have been alcohol abuse in Scotland , which is a serious problem here , but I don't expect the US taxpayer to help ..
