This section explains the purpose of AIDS education funding under this subchapter. Programs must cover the harms of risky sexual activity and drug use, and encourage abstinence. Funds can't promote those activities. But programs may still share accurate, non-obscene risk-reduction information.

(a) In general The point of this subchapter is to set up education and information programs. These programs aim to prevent and reduce people's exposure to -- and the spread of -- the virus that causes AIDS (called here "the etiologic agent for acquired immune deficiency syndrome"). (b) Contents of programs Every education and information program funded under this subchapter must include information about the harmful effects of two things: promiscuous sexual activity and intravenous (IV) drug abuse. It must also explain the benefits of not doing those things. (c) Limitation None of the money used for this subchapter may pay for education or information that directly promotes or encourages homosexual or heterosexual sexual activity, or IV drug abuse. (d) Construction Subsection (c) doesn't stop a program -- one that already includes what subsection (b) requires -- from giving accurate information about ways to lower a person's risk of getting or spreading the AIDS virus. The only condition: any materials used for this can't be obscene.
