There are no large multinationals marketing and selling it. Massive multinationals sell antiretroviral drugs and are heavily subsidized by governments across the world. They directly profit from harm men having sex with men cause to themselves and make you (and me) pay for it on top. The average costs of such therapy is 15-50k USD a year, I googled[1], depending on strain, circumstances, etc. Wouldn't that also be quite an externality? Smokers are probably cheaper[2], because they die sooner.
