The NHS in England has been told by the High Court it can fund a "game-changing" drug that can prevent HIV despite NHS bosses arguing it was not their responsibility.
The NHS had said it was up to councils to provide the pre-exposure prophylaxis (Prep) drug as they are in charge of preventative health. But that stance was challenged by the National Aids Trust.
Using Prep has been shown to reduce the risk of HIV infection by more than 90%. The once-a-day pill, which costs £400 a month per person, works by disabling the virus to stop it multiplying.
The idea is to give it to uninfected men who are having unprotected sex with other men.
Do you find this as outrageous as I do? The NHS is basically being asked to fund a promiscuous gay lifestyle, surely this pill will just encourage the gays to sleep around and not bother with a condom.
And even worse, the taxpayer is being asked to fund it. So next time you look at your payslip and see all that tax being taken out, remember that a portion of it is helping some poor gay guy get his knob away without the risk of contracting HIV.
It gives you a warm feeling all over doesn't it?
