HHS should act quickly to lift ban on foreigners with HIV

The Washington Post is urging the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to take immediate steps to end “a de facto form of discrimination” and rewrite its policies to allow HIV-positive foreigners to visit or immigrate to the U.S. The ban was lifted this year as part of Congress’ reauthorization of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, but the law still requires HHS to revise its policies for the change to take effect in practice.
