This is fantastic news, and reinforces my feelings that there will be many improvements in the new administration!
Finally! Some common sense in attacking the spread of HIV. As an HIV educator fo over 20 years, I've learned that giving only one option just doesn't work. We have always preached abstinence in our talks as the very best sure-fire way to halt transmission; but, then encouraged condoms as the next best thing. Humans are sexual and giving them options is the right thing to do. Hurrah for our President-elect!
This policy needs more changes. More help and resources for american familes and house holds. To have more upfront dialogue with the public and mainstream media. To many americans ow with HIV+ and not enought help. We need to break the cycle and stigme in the african amercain south and in the african american churches. We need more than just Dec 1 . WE need to push hard for a bill that will help bring one full month of hiv and aids awareness and show advancemtn in med and living longer.

This is GREAT! I hope that we can add condom sizes in safer sex ed now. Some guys stop using condoms because the standard ones are too big or too small. Men have condom choices from small to XL.
