Jenna Bush wants to clear up this pregnancy nonsense right now.

The president's daughter is installed in a meeting room at the Hay-Adams Hotel, a stone's throw from the White House ("I don't think of that place as home!"). She's agreed to sit for her first-ever extended newspaper interview to talk about "Ana's Story: A Journey of Hope," her new book for young adults.

The book is a nonfiction account of the struggles and triumphs of a Latin American teenager born HIV-positive. Bush says she's hoping to "start a dialogue" with young Americans about HIV/AIDS and other hurdles -- poverty, abuse, lack of education -- that confront millions of children worldwide.

Her name, she knows, gives her an enormous platform from which to do so.

Having stepped onto that platform, however, she also knows that other subjects will come up.
