GOP abstinence agenda hurting AIDS fight

The sanctimonious GOPers who don't want anyone to have sex are inhibiting the battle to prevent AIDs:

Insistence by Republican Congressional leaders that American money to fight the spread of AIDS globally be used to emphasize abstinence and fidelity is undercutting comprehensive and widely accepted aid models, the Government Accountability Office said in a report released Tuesday.

The report by the G.A.O., an investigative arm of Congress, examines the effect of a mandate from Congress that at least a third of United States money to prevent the spread of AIDS worldwide be devoted to sexual abstinence and fidelity programs.
Is there a sexual abstinence and fidelity program for the GOP? Do they practice what they preach?
