Even with PrEP available, HIV would likely still have become a big problem in places where healthcare is not as readily available, especially in Africa, where it is still a major concern today.

Not to mention how many guys in the 80s lived in denial. They were afraid to tell their wives, their friends and their family, much less get a prescription from the doctor.

Closeted men living straight lives, would go out for a night of indulgence and the next day were overwhelmed with great regret and fear. PrEP doesn’t fit anywhere in that equation.
