AIDS Healthcare Foundation’s Sleazy Porn Campaign

Finally, someone in Los Angeles woke up to Michael Weinstein’s game:

Frontiers Magazine: The Condoms In Porn Fiasco

Weinstein is the executive director of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which does amazing work providing healthcare for people living with HIV/AIDS, but often launches dubious advocacy campaigns. AIDS treatment activists have known for years that Weinstein’s advocacy campaigns have usually been fundraising driven, and can be influenced by large grants (e.g., AHF dropped a threatened lawsuit against the 400% price increase in Norvir in 2003 after Abbott gave them a huge grant).

AHF’s condoms-in-porn campaign has nothing to do with science. It’s just a get-AHF’s-name-in-the-press-as-much-as-possible campaign in order to widen their donor base (I hear those Republican gays have lots of money).
