I can’t stop somebody from having sex, but I shouldn’t have to pay for the consequence of their sex.

You mean in addition to supernatural judgments, and the many consequences of contraception, that of the cost to tax payers for prevention and treatment of fornication:

All fornications:

HIV

And based upon a lifetime from 2015 to 2020 (study published in  4-21) then NIH research  stated:


"We estimated an average lifetime HIV-related medical cost for a person with HIV of $420,285 (2019 US$) discounted (3%) and $1,079,999 undiscounted for a median 3-year diagnosis delay and 3% base dropout rate. Our discounted cost estimate was $490,045 in our most favorable scenario and $326,411 in our least favorable scenario."
"Discounted costs are highlighted throughout because they represent economic costs that take into account time preferences of individuals and society and the opportunity cost of funds." The Lifetime Medical Cost Savings from Preventing HIV in the United States
    
And as reported Mar 27, 2023,
  Medicaid is the largest source of insurance coverage for people with HIV in the United States, covering an estimated 40% of the nonelderly adults with HIV, compared to just 15% of the nonelderly adult population overall...Medicaid accounted for 45% of all federal HIV spending in FY221 and it is the largest source of public spending for HIV care in the U.S. In FY22, the federal government spent an estimated $13 billion on Medicaid services for people with HIV...Medicaid enrollment among people with HIV has grown over time  (https://www.kff.org/hivaids/issue-brief/medicaid-and-people-with-hiv/)

Before the Affordable Care Act, most individuals living with HIV were ineligible for Medicaid unless they had very low incomes, or were deemed permanently disabled due to an AIDS diagnosis. Starting in 2014, under the Affordable Care Act, states can receive federal Medicaid payments to provide coverage for the lowest income adults in their states, without regard to disability, parental status, or most other categorical limitations. (https://www.medicaid.gov/about-us/program-history/medicaid-50th-anniversary/entry/47641) 

Costs associated with engaging in sodomy also can include those for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) [which was] at more than $1,700 for 30 tablets (https://mosaicscience.com/story/hiv-prep-truvada-prevention-sti-std-lgbtqi-gay-condom-pride/).

The cost for  PrEP medication was about  2,000 a month, and which "Most health insurance plans, including Medicaid, cover." (https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/stds-hiv-safer-sex/hiv-aids/prep) Under the Affordable Care Act, PrEP must be free under almost all health insurance plans. (https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/prep/paying-for-prep/index.html) The rule says insurers must not charge copays, coinsurance or deductible payments for the quarterly clinic visits and lab tests required to maintain a PrEP prescription. (https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-health-and-wellness/prep-hiv-prevention-pill-must-now-totally-free-almost-insurance-plans-rcna1470) 

For any Medicaid insured HIV-negative adult 18 years of age or older patients, lab testing and prescription medication costs are 100% covered. (https://www.louisianahealthhub.org/teleprep/) 

"the federal government has announced that almost all health insurers must cover the HIV prevention pill, known as PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis, with no cost sharing — including for the drug itself and, crucially, for clinic visits and lab tests...This means...Truvada or Descovy, the two approved forms of PrEP, should now be totally free for almost all insured individuals....when taken daily, the tablet reduces men’s risk of contracting the virus from sex with other men by more than 99 percent...PrEP use remains largely limited to white gay and bisexual men...

Much more deplorable stats: https://peacebyjesuscom.blogspot.com/2019/10/negative-effects-of-homosexual.html

May God grant all “repentance to the acknowledging of the truth.” (2 Timothy 2:25)
