Federal Grant: $254K to Study Male Prostitute Safety
CNS News ^ | June 28, 2013 | Ryan Kierman

The National Institutes of Health is spending $253,800 of federal taxpayer money to study ways to educate Boston’s male prostitutes on safe-sex practices.

According to a description of the federally funded project, a previous study of male sex workers in Boston found that “almost one third (31%) were HIV-infected, and most (84%) had a steady male or female partner, thus the risk for HIV-infection/transmission is not only to/from their sex work clients but also to/from their primary partners… Notably, every participant reported using a variety of drugs and/or alcohol in the context of sex work in the prior 12 months”

The current study, headed by Dr. Matthew Mimiaga at the Boston-based Fenway Community Health Center, began May 15th of this year and runs through April 30, 2015. It will specifically look at “how contemporary social, sexual, and drug use network characteristics contribute to increased HIV and STI [sexually-transmitted infections] risk behavior and transmission of HIV and other STIs among MSM [“men who have sex with men”] sex workers.”

ways to educate Boston’s male prostitutes on safe-sex practices.

That has to be one of the oldest government scams on the record. Massive federal money for "education" programs. Let's see ... exactly what are you going to teach these low-lifes? If they're so stupid they don't already know the dangers of taking it in the butt or having sex with complete strangers, no amount of taxpayer money is going to change that.

But this is Boston, so it's unlikely any of that money ever made it where it was going anyway.

Apparently, with the precedent already set, I can now apply for MY quarter of a mil to study female prostitutes' safety.

This study may take some time in order to gather, follow, follow-up and document new umm .. subjects, so ... I'll get back to ya' on my results ... later.

I think I am reading too much. I am getting depressed from the hundreds and hundreds of articles showing the downward spiral this country is in. How do you stop such a massive boulder from tumbling downhill. I wish I knew the way. Perhaps electing a competent president is the first step, but with Hillary waiting in the lurches, it seems like a remote dream.

It’s against the law, so they spend gobs of money trying to figure out how to do it safely.

Just make sure you "educate" them.

And buy a drum of penicillin.

Every last pervert bureaucrat who signed off on this outrageous waste of taxpayer money should be fired and their pensions withheld. This is shameful.
