Footage from April 2015, as Cuomo launches the Plan to End AIDS.

 New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is expected to ask for an additional $200 million in state funding to go to HIV-related programs including housing, treatment and prevention, the New York Daily News reports.

The $200 million represents an 8 percent increase from the $2.5 billion the state currently devotes to AIDS programing. Cuomo is expected to announce the funding request at the Apollo Theater in Harlem during a World AIDS Day event on Tuesday, December 1.

Last year Cuomo announced the statewide Plan to End AIDS, which has the stated goal of decreasing new infections in New York from 3,000 a year to 750 by 2020.

The Daily News reports that Cuomo will announce that the state will require permanent and term life insurance be available for people living with HIV who are between 30 and 60 years old.

Cuomo, according to the paper, will announce that he’s seeking an additional $1 million for New York City clinics that diagnose sexually transmitted infections, and he’ll ask the federal government to increase its funding for AIDS housing nationally.

The Daily News also noted that the state health department reported zero transmissions from HIV-positive mothers to their children for the first time in the epidemic’s history, and that the number of Medicaid recipients on Truvada as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has more than tripled.
