$800,000 blown on African genital washing study

And you really want to know what the best part of this is?
The interest that we're going to have to pay on the money so that they can study this kind of bullshit. That's never ending interest mind you on the constant roll over of the debt this country has.
AIDS doesn't come from a dirty dick, it's a virus that enters the blood stream through bodily fluids.
So really what is the point of this waste of money?
The prime reason for this study, is to see if the partner of the dick washer will accept this practice from him after sex.
Just because they can?
The kicker to all of this is that, they want more money for a later study to see if this teaching has any effect at all on the prevention of AIDS.
The funding for this study came from the Economic stimulus package, and Obama has stated that he wants to spend more for research to further help out the economy and to create jobs.
Not only is this outsourced, but who the hell would actually want this type of employment and just how much would it cost us to train them to do it?
How disgusted are you now America,
That Congress actually approved this kind of crap!


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.
