There’s no way to say this gently,

The best way to increase the number of something is to Subsidize it. Just as the state’s superb special educaiton school districts are drawing in family’s with special ed children increasing the costs to property owners here, watch NJ’s Medicaid program increase the number of enrollees using retrovirals and proteaser inhibitor cocktails on the taxpayers’ dime.

JerseyHighlander, you could not have taken home a more incorrect "take home" message.

"Codey, D-Essex, said the bill stems from a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that found medical treatment during pregnancy can dramatically cut mother-to-child HIV transmission."

It largely happens during birth. Giving perinatally, i.e. when the mother starts to go into labor, the HIV-positive mother antiretroviral drugs dramatically decreases the number of children born who are HIV-positive. That way you taxpayers don't have to pay for a lifetime of treatment with those drugs.

Immune-based prevention of mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission.

The mainstay of reducing HIV transmission risk in infants remains the use of antiretroviral therapy.

FWIW, you can check the related links. BTW, Codey is doing something smart for a change.
