NaBloPoMo Post 1: HIV Ban Lifted
There is big news for those with HIV. President Obama signed the Ryan White Care Act and with that comes the removal of the travel ban. What does this mean? It means that people with HIV are free to come to the US with out a specail waiver that was previously needed. It means passports won’t have an astrisk that notes that something is “wrong” with the person. It means that people with HIV equal opprotunity to enter this country.
It also means that children with HIV who are waiting to be adopted do not have to wait any longer than their peers. They no longer have to wait for their parents to jump through all sorts of paperwork hoops and red tape just to bring them home.
As of January 1, 2010, a medical condition that cannot be transmitted by casual contact, will no longer slow down the visa process for those hoping to travel to the US.
