Feds Spent $800,000 of Economic Stimulus on African Genital-Washing Program
CNS News ^ | September 13, 2010

Posted on 09/13/2010 7:43:00 AM PDT by La Lydia

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...

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 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.

I suspect Coates is gay, and he definitely is HIV-positive.

Think of the mind that thought up such a study.

Sick..absolutely demented. I used to wonder the very same thing about writers & directors of slasher movies and bloody fests or even Stephen King for that matter.

it is just staggering that these people are still hurting so bad.

'Tis because the "people" don't see one red cent.

Once all of the charitable organizations skim the cream off the top, and the UN (and others) get their cut, and all of the local warlords, etc, get paid off.....

....there ain't much left for everyone else. /rant off.

Truly, it boggles my mind that people would send $$$ to Africa when we've got problems right here. But that's another soapbox rant, I guess.

** I would rather spend the money on a program that teaches them how to build their own purification systems.**

Years ago, NOVA showed what happens in Africa.

The women carried contaminated water miles to prepare food. The men did nothing.
The UN came in and drilled a shallow well, and installed a manual pump. The women were happy. The men did nothing.

When the pump broke, the women began to carry water miles again. The men did nothing even though the pump was easy to fix.

I was hoping someone was going to say it was satire but with Bozo in office it seams very likely.

seems to me that a few minor adjustments in a mammogram x-ray visit by these africans would allow the cleaning to be done... and not cost extra... just press until it hurts, then clean.... and one wouldn't have to worry about arousal side effects
