HHS takes first step in lifting HIV travel ban - Southern Voice Atlanta

"The Obama administration has taken the first official step in lifting the regulatory ban preventing HIV-positive foreign nationals from entering the United States.

The Department of Health & Human Services last week issued a proposed regulation that would end the ban. The regulation was to be posted in the Federal Registry, triggering a 45-day period in which the department takes public comment. After another period of time, during which HHS will review the comments, a final regulation will be issued."
