Gay Rights Group Call for End of HIV Travel Ban in US

Lambda Legal, a UK-based LGBT rights group, has called on the US government to lift the ban on people living with HIV from entering or residing in the United States.  This comes after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the US Department of Health and Human Services has proposed removing the viral disease from the list of communicable diseases of public health significance for immigrants coming to the North American country.

Scotts Schoettes of Lambda Legal said they had written to the CDC supporting their proposal, urging the organization to "move swiftly to finalize and implement the proposed regulations, thereby ending the discriminatory and disgraceful HIV travel and immigration ban and allowing the United States to more full assume the role as a leader in the global fight against HIV/ AIDS."

The ban originates from 1987, when fear brought about the AIDS pandemic led US official to require anyone with HIV to declare their status and apply for a special visa.  In July 2008, President George W. Bush signed the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief Act, which lifted the ban on HIV positive people from entering the United States.  However, the ban remains in force while the Department for Health and Human Sciences decides how to implement the measure.

  42. I cheated on my husband and I regret it. My secret boyfriend has hiv. And my worry about getting infected was answered after I got a package from the online store home-bio-test. I tested myself with oraquick oral hiv test and it was positive. I made a mistake once and I don’t want to make another one by transmitting hiv to my husband. I always ask my husband to use condom everytime we have sex for pregnancy reasons, citing side effects from the pill, but he hates that. I hear that once my viral load is undetectable, sex without a condom will again be safe. But it is hard to tell him the truth. I just don’t wanna ruin our marriage. Is there any way to have normal sexual life without infecting my husband hiv?
