Nude AIDS Activists Protest In John Boehner's Office

Posted: Updated:

House Speaker John Boehner's Capitol Hill offices were invaded by nude protesters on Tuesday.

The activists were there to demand a stop to cuts of HIV-AIDS funding that is part of the fiscal cliff negotiations.

The group was made up of three women and four men.

Each had the words "AIDS Cuts Kill" painted on their backs.

The group, along with other clothed demonstrators, chanted slogans for 15 minutes until police stepped in.

The three women were arrested by capitol police. The naked men apparently left before the arrests.

Police say AIDS activist groups in Washington for World AIDS Day this Saturday organized the protest.
