The CDC reports that the estimated lifetime treatment cost for HIV is $379,000 (in 2010 dollars). With treatment, HIV+ people can live 30 years or more. Without the expensive treatment, life expectancy post-infection is about 12 years (ten years until onset of AIDS, two years to die from it).

With gay marriage, an HIV+ man can get access to another man's health insurance. I suspect a major factor behind ObamaCare's "pre-existing condition" coverage, is so that HIV+ men could get the expensive treatment.
