Admin moves to reverse ban on HIV positive individuals entering country

On the same day as POTUS's East Room ceremony marking Stonewall, an HRC official writes: "The official word has come down from the Administration that the regulations repealing the ban on HIV positive individuals entering the country will be published in the Federal Registry tomorrow. That will start the 45 day public comment period, followed by HHS implementing the policy into law."

HRC prez Joe Solmonese calls it an "important step closer to finally ending this discriminatory ban once and for all."

AND: Gerstein sends over the Notice

1. So if an HIV positive patient tried to enter the country and get medical treatment
he/she would be denied?

How absurd.

2. Or for any reason. Such as loved ones living here.
This has been the case for many years.

3. How ridiculous
I can't believe this was a law in the first place. At least now it's gone.
