Put A Johnny On Yer Knob!

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?

Probably a bit insensitive which isn't like me, but the risks have been more than adequately publicised and people at all levels have been educated and given as much information as they need, down to a breakdown of lifestyles and which demographics are most at risk.
If after all that information they choose to go sticking their cocks up other peoples gary glitters without protection then they deserve all they get.
And I object to paying NI so we can pay £400 per month to those too irresponsible or too stupid to heed the warnings, anybody who goes to the doctors to ask for it is basically a fuckwit who's admitting that he/she is playing Russian roulette with his/hers life and other peoples lives and wants a pill to minimise the risk.
Therefore they should be arrested for endangering peoples lives.

Fully agree with Nat - it's ridiculous.

At a time when the NHS is coming under almost daily attack from the horrible Tories who seem intent on slashing funding to almost nothing, that money could (and should) be spent on more effective treatments for people who genuinely need help.

It should go on providing Motability scooters for the morbidly obese to help them get around or trips to Blackpool for people with Depression to cheer them up.

Or better still, it should be channeled into paying for foreign holidays for fat, depressed people (and their scooters) somewhere warm and sunny.

Why should the gays get all the special attention?

Doesn't seem fair to me.

Again maybe slightly insensitive but fuck the morbidly obese too and also take their disabled badges off them too because they're not disabled they're just fat and have no self discipline.
As the depressed, suggest they watch the comedy channel - job done.
Anyone else need sorting?

The disabled have about 30 parking bays outside gyms, now that takes the piss, if they're fit enough to  pump iron, then surly they're fit enough to walk an extra few yards.

I love the one's with disabled badges in they're brand new BMW X5's and Range Rovers legging it into the supermarket when it's raining

The benders and the £400 per month for pills, is ridiculous. Hopefully the decision is reversed, but at the end of the day, its still us that pays for someone dipping their wick for fun

As an aside, would a 10% chance of not getting the The Bad AIDS (copy-write Chris Morris) be enough of a guarantee to persuade people to play unprotected "hide the sausage up the poo chute" with some sweaty stranger they'd just met down Canal Street?

It's not a risk I'd take.

The NHS is about prevention as much as treatment, it's quite right that they do everything they can to limit the spread of the disease. The same way the NHS spends money on treating obesity and smoking before it leads to health issues. 

Who here can seriously claim they've wrapped up every time?

I can put my hand on my heart and honestly say that I have never had a condomless willy up my bottom.

Fo'shizzle.

Do you usually use a condom when playing "hide the sausage up the poo chute" then?

Undigested sweetcorn and what looks like stinky Nutella all over your helmet is something you only ever want to experience once in your life, believe me.

It's not like in the porno's.

I think they vac the ladies out before they start filming - they must do because it ain't like that in real life.

S'orrible......

as people on here will know i work in the Hospital Pharmacy of a very large Hospital in Manchester and we've just been discussing this in our office with some of the Pharmacists. A mixed bag of answers but in general we disagree with this as well.
The money would be better spent elsewhere and will take awy money that could be used in other areas such as cancer treatments and Hep C treatments that are seriously expensive.

It seems to be a lifestyle issue and i don't agree the NHS should be funding this. Once it is approved for gay men then other groups will be insisting they need it too and the costs will spiral.

The treatment they would use for this is a combination drug and one of the drugs in the combination is due to come off patent which would probably bring the overall price of the drug down (when it comes off patent it means other manufacturers are free to make their own versions and the price usually drops massively) but i would still be dubious about the NHS funding it

Not me, any form of plastic or rubber can seriously reduce testostrone levels, never drink out of a plastic bottle or use plastic bags, or eat your food out of plastic containers.

Disgusting post. I'll never erase that picture from my head.

It's called douching.

They have taken stringent steps in terms of prevention in education, advertising, literature and PR, this is where the prevention budget has been rightly spent.
If after being given all this information they choose to ignore it and play Russian Roulette with theirs and other lives then we shouldn't be subsidising that.
This isn't about whether people wrap up every time (which if you don't on casual encounters you're equally irresponsible, just not as frequently) it's about people saying I've heard all the warnings and I've chosen to ignore them so give me a pill.

Always be prepared like Nat you never know when you'll meet "the one", especially with your new sexy pink boots on.

i never fancied the back door entry and after reading Breaders description that has definitely made my mind up
