Just to dispel some myths here:

1. Many people who use PrEP have only one partner. They're using PrEP because their partner has HIV.

2. The alternative is letting people get AIDs. This is more expensive than PrEP.

3. Insurance doesn't pay the full list price of drugs, they pay a lower, negotiated rate. CostPlus Drug Company charges about $20/month for PrEP. This is probably closer to what insurance companies actually pay.



Good comment. I concede if it's really ~$20/month it's a rounding error and an obvious policy win.
