HIV Travel Ban

(Community Matters) Good gosh, I missed that yesterday the Senate approved the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, the multi-billion dollar plan for fighting HIV/AIDS inclusive of language which would repeal the travel and immigration restrictions against those with HIV/AIDS. This is huge. Long overdue. Few other countries restrict travel & immigration based on HIV status, though the United States, Russia, Sudan, Saudia Arabia & Lybia do. The ban will be lifted once the President signs the bill. here
