This article recently appeared in the Global Health Magazine (published by the Global Health Council) and discusses the ban on HIV positive individuals entering the USA.

The current restrictions as listed in the article state:
The United States travel and immigration ban disallows the entry of HIV-positive non-citizens into the country and prohibits HIV positive non-citizens from becoming permanent legal residents.
The Department of Health and Human Services is proposing to remove HIV from the list of communicable diseases disallowing entry into the United States; however, it is uncertain when this might take place.
What do you think about the proposed change and implications on public health policy? Did you know that the United States does not allow entry of HIV positive non-citizens and prevents HIV positive individuals from becoming citizens?
