Is the Bush Administration Waging a Covert War on Condoms?

In a recent article in Newsday, nationally syndicated columnist Marie Cocco claims that the Bush administration is removing information from the Center for Disease Control’s website regarding the effectiveness of condoms to prevent HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. Jon Beaupre talks with Dr. Joe McIlhaney, Jr. MD, founder and president of the Medical Institute for Sexual Health and member of the President's AIDS panel. Also joining Jon is Eric Sawyer, co-founder of ACT-UP, an AIDS activist group. Together, they talk about the administration’s criticism of condom use and how it influences federally distributed information on STDs.
