It's funny I read this today, since I actually woke up and thought "now what would make this country better" and I pondered this for maybe 10 minutes and thought "I know we need more people infected with a deadly virus walking around the streets" I'm glad to see the Usurper is getting meaningful "change" done in the Black House.
For the past 22 years, if you had HIV or AIDS and weren't American, you couldn't enter the U.S.
That changed today as President Obama lifted the ban. Since the Obama administration is planning to host the 2012 World Aids Conference, the change in policy was necessary.
The biannual conference naturally includes many people living with HIV and AIDS, and barring their entry would have been bad PR for an administration that wants to be seen as a global leader in the fight against the disease
There are only ten countries that now ban people with HIV/AIDS from entering. They are: Brunei, China. Equatorial Guinea, Papua New Guinea, Qatar, Russia, Singapore, Sudan, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.
According to the website hivtravel.org, some of these countries allow people to enter under "special circumstances". Some other countries not on the list put restrictions on people living with HIV/AIDS but not full bans.
