...World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) responded promptly by reaffirming their recommendation that all HIV positive people should use condoms during sexual activity to prevent the spread of the disease. "The issue that the Swiss article raises is an important thing to consider," says Dr. Robert Janssen, director of the division of HIV-AIDS Prevention at CDC. "But I think it's premature to make the type of recommendation that they are making...

Minister and gastroenterologist Dr. Randy Brinson founded the group during the 2004 election and hired the same media firm that marketed Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ to broaden RTV's reach. In 2004, the group organized Christian rock concerts in swing states and singlehandedly registered some 78,000 voters. For this year's Iowa caucuses, the group employed another technique to attract young evangelicals - free samples of southern cuisine like collard greens and banana pudding. Using...
