Statement From Senate Democratic Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins


World AIDS Day is an important opportunity to help those living with HIV/AIDS, and continue
our progress in the fight against this disease. There are 35 million people across the globe who
live with HIV/AIDS, including over 130,000 New Yorkers. We must ensure that those New
Yorkers and their families have the support services they require. Senate Democratic advocacy
and support helped ensure the inclusion of over $1 million in the 2015-2016 State Budget for
HIV/AIDS related services including education, outreach, treatment and prevention programs.
The fight against HIV/AIDS requires meaningful actions by state government and the Senate
Democrats will continue to ensure that those New Yorkers impacted by HIV/AIDS receive the
quality assistance and support they deserve.
