Even with PrEP distributed freely (with a prescription) HIV is still spreading. So unfortunately it's not purely a money problem. A vaccine you only have to take yearly would dramatically change the landscape of transmission.
PrEP is very expensive. It is covered potentially partially by insurance.
I said distributed freely. That's the case in a lot of places in Europe and Asia and I've read enough times on reddit that many Americans get it for free too.
