The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are proposing the removal of HIV infection from the list of diseases that can keep people who are not U.S. citizens from entering the United States.
On Thursday, July 2nd, HHS and the CDC published a notice in the Federal Register that it intends to repeal the HIV travel and immigration ban.
The public now has until August 17th to submit comments and voice support for the proposed change in regulations.
Please take a few minutes to voice your support for the ending of this needless discrimination against people living with HIV!
The CDC is welcoming public support for the removal of this ban, and HIV/AIDS advocates around the country are making their voices heard. Stand up and be counted among them!
