Obama announces he will lift ban on HIV+ visitors to the U.S.

17 Nov 2009


President Obama announced in October 30, 2009 the end of a 22-year ban on travel to the United States by people who had tested positive for the virus that causes AIDS. At a White House ceremony, he announced that a rule canceling the ban would be published in November 2, 2009 and would take effect after a routine 60-day waiting period. The president had promised to end the ban before the end of the year.
