I suppose it depends then on whether or not you consider it a 'waste'. Cancer still exists but that's not a reason to not invest in treatments for other diseases (especially ones that are growing). I don't think there would be much of an impact on cancer treatment anyway though, the arguments against it seem like scaremongering to me, and the resistance to prep being invested in seem to be based on the 'gay men sleeping around' stereotype, and the homophobic undertones of "they're going to spread diseases regardless so why bother" (and the cherry picking of some (rare) examples of gay men who might be irresponsible and using them as a reason/implying they're representative of everyone else, shows that), so I don't hold much merit to those callers' views tbh.
