Washington, Jul 16, 2007 - A recently completed evaluation of U.S.-funded "abstinence and be faithful" HIV prevention programs for youth, commissioned by the Bush Administration, finds that many fail to serve the needs of young people who are or may become sexually active. Oversight Committee Chairman Henry A. Waxman, Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Tom Lantos, and Congresswoman Barbara Lee wrote to U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator Mark Dybul to ask how his office will respond to the evaluation's findings and recommendations.
