22-year Travel Ban May Be Lifted Officials are looking to end a 22-year ban disallowing foreigners who have HIV seeking to visit or immigrate to the U.S.
Public comment is being sought by officials at the Center of Disease Control and Prevention through Aug. 17. This new proposal would remove HIV from the list of diseases that keep people who aren't U.S. citizens from entering the United States.
This newly proposed rule occurred more than a year after Congress repealed the 1987 restrictions implemented by President George W. Bush.
Even though the legal requirement of people who are HIV positive was excluded, the Health and Human Services department decides whether the disease will remain on the "no-entry list."
