AFAIK it's because it hasn't been tested on them. Later they say that they've used HIV treatment to prevent infection before in pregnant women and people inadvertently exposed to infected bodily fluid like hospital employees pricked by an improperly disposed of sharp.
It's a bit like the HPV vaccine not being available for men despite the fact that it would work just fine in them.
