title: Science gets sacked.
abstract: The Bush administration's obsession with abstinence-only approaches to AIDS prevention is leading to attacks on the notion of safe sex, manipulation of educational materials, loss of funding and other assaults on HIV-prevention organizations, and manipulation of scientific research itself. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, once a partner to HIV experts, has become a case study in the pitched battle between science and ideology.
