The reasoning is THEY CHOSE to do this to themselves.

Say:

WHY do we treat male AIDS patients..?

Over 1/3 of them have over 1,000 different sex partners.

I don’t hate them, but it seems like they are BEGGING for an expensive disease.

Insurance companies charge motorcycle riders more, as they pose a higher risk.

Smokers are charged more.

WHY must the public PAY ON BEHALF of a group that is DELIBERATELY contracting an expensive disease...?

Because AIDS was politicized and the side that politicized it won.

You should see what we spend on AIDS research. President Obama’s Fiscal Year 2017 federal budget request includes an estimated $34 billion for combined domestic and global HIV efforts.

$34 billion. Billion with a 'B'. For a disease that is almost entirely preventable.

Cancer, by comparison, receives a little over $5 billion in research funding.
