This is more proof that AIDS is a diseasae that people don't care about and the stigma still exists that someone who has it somehow deserves what happens to them. The Governor, Jim Gibbons is a Republican and the Republicans are notorious for cutting funding for anything to do with HIV. If Reagan hadn't been such a homophobe and had done something at the beginning of the health crisis maybe we wouldn't have lost so many people to the virus.
More uneducated political stupidity. If a pregnant woman is on HIV meds the baby has a 95% chance of being born without HIV. I guess some idiot thinks it is cheaper to have the child in the medicaid system for 20 years as well as the mother. Stupid , Stupid , Stupid. Isn't it cheaper to treat one than two? What are these people thinking???

This is typical of Nevada where I have lived for 35 years. The state government is a combination of corruption and cronyism. They have no problem giving away taxpayer money to large corporations as Tax Credits for unproven energy production, or funding tax subsidies for monopoly private utility companies but can't seem to see the need for essential public services for those who form the base of our employment pool, the public taxpayer. This is a state of myopic, short term memory government.
