The San Francisco Chronicle reported June 14 that U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention threatened 'to pull funding from
a controversial San Francisco AIDS prevention program that employs sexually explicit street language to promote safer sex
workshops.'
In letters to the Stop AIDS Project and to the city Dept. of Public Health, the CDC said it appeared that the programs about gay
sexuality violate a law barring use of federal money to 'encourage or promote sexual activity.'
