The End AIDS 2020 Coalition is urging the state to expand the HIV special needs health plans.

Specifically, the coalition and the administrators of these plans want all men who have sex with men and are qualified for Medicaid to be able to enroll- regardless of their HIV status.

The special needs health plans would then help provide pre-exposure prophylaxis, better known as PREP, a medication to prevent transmission of the virus.

Doug Wirth is the president of Amida Care, he says that's crucial for meeting the state's goal of ending the epidemic by 2020.
