    @ChinelleU @Danelover @matthew_wintle @Petunia54321 @TODAYshow @Adaripp @craigmelvin @VP PrEP is even more effective than condoms to prevent HIV infection. It's science. So yes, I do think it should be given for free, at least to people who can't afford it.

      @ChinelleU @Danelover @matthew_wintle @Petunia54321 @TODAYshow @Adaripp @craigmelvin @VP The French Social Security system actually provides a lot of healthcare for *free*. And you know what? It costs two times *less* than in the US for a *way better* health outcome. Proofs are here: ourworldindata.org/the-link-between-life-expectancy-and-health-spending-us-focus

        @ChinelleU @Danelover @matthew_wintle @Petunia54321 @TODAYshow @Adaripp @craigmelvin @VP France has decided to provide PrEP for free to anyone at risk to get the HIV (after seeing a doctor and sticking to a strict medical protocol; "free" doesn't mean everyone can get PrEP just like candies).

          @ChinelleU @Danelover @matthew_wintle @Petunia54321 @TODAYshow @Adaripp @craigmelvin @VP It costs way less to do that than to pay for HIV+ medication, or to deal with people who can't work anymore because they're too ill – or even dead.
