Abortion could have prevented AIDS if the parents of homosexuals
were sterilized and any unborn babies they may have had, aborted.

No homosexuals, no AIDS.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Sunday announced an initiative to
bring new HIV/AIDS cases below epidemic levels in the state by
2020. The plan calls for more aggressive testing, treatment and
tracking of the disease.

"The state of New York was ground zero of HIV/AIDs when the
crisis hit 30 years ago," Mr. Cuomo said in remarks before
walking in New York City's gay-pride parade. "It's fitting that
New York could be the state that is the most aggressive in
eradicating the disease."

The goal is to have the number of new HIV infections fall below
the number of HIV-related deaths by 2020, at which point it will
no longer be considered an epidemic in the state, according to
the Cuomo administration.

Mr. Cuomo said the plan would involve implementing new testing protocols�including wider use of at-home HIV/AIDs tests�and
working with drug companies to help infected people access and
afford medication.

Mr. Cuomo said state health officials will reach out to
communities where HIV/AIDS risk is high and provide pre-exposure
medications that can help prevent the disease. "We're not going
to be happy until we end the epidemic and we believe we can," he
said.

The state's interim health commissioner, Howard Zucker, appeared
with the governor for the announcement. Dr. Zucker said the
state's benchmarks for assessing the effectiveness of the plan
include tracking the numbers of people using at-home HIV/AIDS
tests and enrolling in health-care programs.

State Sen. Brad Hoylman, a Manhattan Democrat, praised the
governor's initiative. "Although there is still no cure,
scientific advances and widespread health care coverage�have put
an end to the epidemic within our reach," he said.
