Nigel Farage has been round condemned by the commentariat for suggesting that treating foreigners for free on the NHS was not right and that we should, like 46 other countries, not admit foreigners who are HIV positive.
The cost for
treatment for HIV positive patients is some £20,000 or more for
anti-retroviral drugs every year. Once HIV treatment is started,
patients will probably need to take the medication for the rest of their
lives. In total, the cost to the NHS could be up to £1 million per
patient if they survive into old age from their early twenties."
