U.S. Government Funds $400,000 Study on Gay Sex in Argentina Bars

The National Institutes of Health are paying researchers to cruise bars in Buenos Aires to find out why gay men engage in risky sexual behavior while drunk -- and what can be done about it.


Government researchers are spending more than $400,000 in taxpayer money to hit the bars in Argentina.


The National Institutes of Health are paying researchers to cruise six bars in Buenos Aires to find out why gay men engage in risky sexual behavior while drunk -- and just what can be done about it.


Doctors and specialists from the New York Psychiatric Institute are using the generous grant from NIH's National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism to help tailor HIV prevention programs to work at bars and clubs.


Though public health officials say that HIV/AIDS rates are higher in Washington, D.C., than in some parts of West Africa, U.S. government funds are going to help curb dangerous liaisons in Argentina's capital.


The study began in September 2008, according to an online abstract, and has already cost taxpayers $198,776, NIH documents show.

Another example of why the GOP is on it's way to becoming the Grand Obsolete Party. Eight years of crap like this being funded under Bush without a single veto.

You hear that Steak? That guy you think might be trying to pick you up may not really be trying to pick you up. He might just be a "researcher."

"Why do people engage in risky sexual activity after getting drunk?"


Give me $400,000 and 12 months and I'll be back with the answer.

This is the funniest thing I have read in the poly forum in some time.

"and just what can be done about it." LMAO

 

[barman]

ayuh FUNK...Would love to be a fly on the wall in some of the meetings that lead up to such funding being approved.

Whether it be a project promoted by "left" or "right" is immaterial

Those meetings have just got to be like one of the spoof interviews on The Daily Show.

The presenters are laying out their baloney and the decision makers are paying close attention. Nodding their heads...."yes...yes...I see what you mean...we should get behind you on this."

 

[barman]

And one or more decision makers is soberly nodding..."Yes, I've had frequent calls from people in my district expressing concern about the amount of sex people have after drinking..."

 

[geeze]

I can just see it now:

Out on the Pampas, Craig, the smiling Argentine Lone Ranger turns to his faithful gaucho companion Tonto, and says: "Why don't you get out of those hot, sweaty chaps and come sit by the fire."

Willie - Hate to break the news to you bud, He is gay. I live in Idaho and this wasn't the first time his sexuality has come into question. It's followed him his whole life.. he was accused of making sexual advances towards his fraternity brothers while at U of I.. Thats the most republican school there is... and there is a lot more.. He can't come out and say he is gay.. He would be excommunicated from his church..
