In addition to which is the financial cost which has been going for decades:




The United States is expected to spend more than $26 billion annually on HIV. (https://www.healthline.com/health/hiv-aids/facts-statistics-infographic) 
 
CDC estimates indicate about 20 percent of the U.S. population – approximately one in five people in the U.S. – had an STI on any given day in 2018, and STIs acquired that year will cost the American healthcare system nearly $16 billion in healthcare costs alone. (https://www.cdc.gov/std/statistics/prevalence-2020-at-a-glance.htm) 
 
"STIs and their complications amount to about $16 billion annually in direct medical costs. HIV imposes the largest financial burden, costing $12.6 billion in direct medical costs, followed by HPV at $1.7 billion, chlamydia at $156.7 million, gonorrhea at $162.1 million, and syphilis at $39.9 million." (https://cdn.americanprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/STI-brief.pdf) 

"The estimated discounted lifetime cost for persons who become HIV infected at age 35 is $326,500 (60% for antiretroviral medications, 15% for other medications, 25% non-drug costs). [Undiscounted "mean lifetime costs are $597,300 ($4,200)" "Discounted costs are highlighted throughout because they represent economic costs that take into account time preferences of individuals and society and the opportunity cost of funds"] The Lifetime Medical Cost Savings from Preventing HIV in the United States

Costs also can include those for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) at more than $1,700 for 30 tablets (https://mosaicscience.com/story/hiv-prep-truvada-prevention-sti-std-lgbtqi-gay-condom-pride/).

The cost for  PrEP medication is about  2,000 a month, and which "Most health insurance plans, including Medicaid, cover." (https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/stds-hiv-safer-sex/hiv-aids/prep) For any Medicaid insured HIV-negative adult 18 years of age or older patients, lab testing and prescription medication costs are 100% covered. (https://www.louisianahealthhub.org/teleprep/) 

In 2017, around 61,300 people were actively taking PrEP.
(https://www.avert.org/professionals/hiv-around-world/western-central-europe-north-america/usa) with the rate of PrEP users per 100,000 population in 2018 being 68. (https://aidsvu.org/local-data/united-states)

The Ready, Set, PrEP program makes PrEP medication available at no cost for qualifying recipients who lack prescription drug coverage, and  are tested for HIV with a negative result, and have a prescription for PrEP. (https://www.getyourprep.com/)

W
hich raises  raises private insurance rates and or taxes for all who pay them.  


Such are just part of the financial and societal costs  that affect every one to varying degrees due to man disobeying God's program, in which sexual union is only between male and female in marriage. And which provides the stable safe environment for trust and intimacy and for  children which are to result, versus  fornication as well as artificial contraceptives.
 


And beyond the
financial and societal costs is the spiritual cost, of separation from God now and eternal damnation later  due to impenitent sin. For which only repentance and committed faith in the risen Lord Jesus is the solution, for Christ the Son of God  was sent by God the Father to be the savior of the world. And who therefore gave Himself for our sins on the cross of His death, paying the price for our forgiveness with His sinless shed blood. Thanks be to God.

Why do those who make the regulations continually bend over for the faggies? Why is my tax money enabling sodomites in their filthy activity? For an ”oppressed minority” they sure do get their way, don’t they.

The cost of healthcare insurance skyrocketed right after "domestic partner" coverage was inflicted on employer provided healthcare plans. I suspect the driver was covering for HIV treatment. The charts you cite tend to support that observation. Prior to the "domestic partner" provision, I had employee + spouse + family coverage through Kaiser Permanente for $25/month (when I started my current job 30 years ago today). Now, just employee + spouse cost $13,000+ in annual premiums for 80/20 coverage with a $6900 annual deductible.

I turned 65 in August. My HR department accepted my medical exception from the euthanasia injection. Today marks 30 years with my employer. I plan to work for them through 31 Dec 2022 assuming they can stay in business. Another year of exorbitant healthcare premiums. I'm avoiding Medicare for a year...it may be gone by this time next year.

The push by fags to donate blood without restriction and no questions asked continues. Now, the ones on PrEP are demanding preference as donors because they are “safer” donors, ignoring the fact that they’re on PrEP exactly because they’re IN A HIGH RISK GROUP.
