I'd bet that they spend the money that comes in on providing medical care for the people in their community who are already infected with HIV, and on other things that assist them. I would hope so, and I have no specifics to believe otherwise. However, in general, organizations that develop a constituency based on the funds their executives attract tend to reward those executives handsomely. an educational outreach program, trying to teach people what they need to know to prevent infection? My employer instituted such a program, and I heard remarks like "It's about time we start this training." I wondered how that could be, since I had known everything I needed to know to avoid getting HIV ever since it first came out. To me, it's one of those things that is so fundamental as to be self-explanatory. Why do others need an expensive program to educate them about such a simple concept? My employer tried to make those programs mandatory, and I suppose they were. I never went, because in my case it would have been a waste of the taxpayers' money.
