How about putting that money into teaching children to have sex responsibly. I think that's the biggest waste of money. We are sexual beings and telling kids to wait is like telling them to stay away from a brownie that's right there in front of them. What a shame. Money poorly spent and will have NO big effect on anyone in the long run. Just my 2 cents and at 49 years of age I think my idea is better!
What a waste. $250 million for lip service. $250 million would do 41.5 million quick tests to check for HIV and serve as a reminder that such things as HIV exist. 500 million brochures that say don't have a banging good time will not kill the urges.
This is yet another DUMB idea that did not work the first time and here we are trying to appease the conservatives with this money. I think it is not the smartest idea to tell all of our young people about abstinence when none of them have done it, nor are they going to be doing it. Help me see how you are going to sell this when you have never had the experience?
The sex drive will always over rule abstanance. Talk more about the emotions and force of nature AND safe sex practices. Listen to the song from Fantastics and learn that lession. Just say NO. Ha
Ugh. Alas, the political quid pro quo necessay to pass these bills is just now starting to rear its ugly head. Didn't we learn this isn't money well spent during the first years of PEPFAR. How can America show its progressive potential if it constantly forgets the errors of the past?

What about an abstinence-until-mutually-monogamous-relationship program for those of us who can not, or do not want to get married?
