Currently, the majority of that cost is borne by ADAP, or the AIDS Drug
Assistance Program. Some of that cost is also picked up by the Ryan White
CARE act. Even people without health insurance -- even people that are
homeless -- can receive HIV drugs. It's one of the few programs that hasn't
had the majority of its funding stripped out over the last five years.

The civil courts also have an effective remedy for sexually transmitted
financial burdens. I fully support making the person who transmitted the
infection to you pay for at least a portion, if not all, of their victim's
drugs and treatment.
