NEWS AND NEW DEVELOPMENTS



IOM Critical of the Federal HIV Prevention Program [New York Times September 28, 2000, pg. A18]: A report by the Institute of Medicine commissioned by the CDC criticized the Clinton Administration for its failure to develop a comprehensive and effective program to prevent HIV infection. The government has spent $250-million over five years for sex education programs that emphasized abstinence despite no evidence that this message works. The report also called for additional support for needle exchange programs and treatment programs for injection drug users, and it requested insurance companies reimburse physicians for the time required for prevention counseling. posted 10/6/2000
