CDC REPLY TO MY FOIA REQUEST
The following brief letter arrived via snail mail yesterday. I am quite pleased the Centers for Disease Control has responded so quickly to my FOIA request for their report on the investigation conducted last year, at my request, on the Stop AIDS Project of San Francisco.
My question was simple. Is the Stop AIDS Project effective at preventing new HIV infections among gay men in this town?
CDC dispatched four investigators in August to assess how the project uses CDC HIV prevention grants and to determine if the group is successful at meeting its stated objective; to stop AIDS. Yet, eight months later, no report has been issued by CDC.
Let’s hope the agency finally releases its findings on the Stop AIDS Project, under the provisions of FOIA.
