'WASHINGTON — The United States on Tuesday unveiled a five-year strategy for fighting AIDS worldwide, shifting the focus from emergency response to sustainable programs in countries worldwide.

Marking World AIDS day, the administration of President Barack Obama outlined the next phase of the widely-hailed President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), which was launched in 2003 under then president George W. Bush.

"We're going to begin transitioning from an emergency response to a sustainable one through greater engagement with and capacity-building of governments," said Ambassador Eric Goosby, the US global AIDS coordinator.
...
"We're going to scale up highly effective prevention interventions like male circumcision, prevention of mother-to-child transmission," Goosby said. "We're going to work with countries to determine not just how many people are infected in their communities in their countries, but where the new infections are occurring," he added.'

A Decadent Culture

A sure sign that the culture is decadent is when it uses superstitions and bad medicine to justify mutilating male infant's genitalia.

100 years ago it was preventing masturbation to avoid insanity and a telescoping spine. Now it is preventing AIDS. Here is a clue: AIDS is mainly caused by unprotected sex. Slicing off the foreskin does not take the place of a condom.

IDIOTS!!!
