End to HIV/AIDS Travel Ban into United States

Today, President Obama announced that his administration was ending the 22 year ban on entry into the United States for those with HIV/AIDS.  Previously, the United States was one of just a few countries that had such a ban.  In making his announcement, the President stated, “If we want to be the global leader in combating HIV/AIDS, we need to act like it.”

The ban will be formally removed in early 2010.
