HIV/AIDS Susan, From Dennis Sifris, MD and James Myhre, your Guide to AIDS/HIV The current Ebola crisis in Central Africa and concerns about the spread of the disease into the U.S. echoes many of the same fears and concerns seen during the height of the HIV epidemic, when restrictions on travel were enacted in the interest of public health. While Ebola remains a serious concern, with far different modes of transmissions to that of HIV, the implications in terms of government response, both here and abroad, remain very much the same. This week, we take a look at the legacy of government responses to the global HIV pandemic by looking at the countries that continue to bar entry to people with HIV, as well as providing insights to how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) works and assessing how some U.S. laws directly impact those living with HIV. We need a Cure for this disease. Wishing you continued good health How Many Countries Bar Entry Continue Support for the cure of HIV/AIDS. As you know Children are also afflicted with this disease. Some Countries still bar entry of travelers with HIV. It was only in 2009 that the United States finally lifted its 22-year ban on travelers with HIV, a law which prohibited all infected persons from obtaining tourist visas or permanent residence status. The order, initiated by George H.W. Bush in 2008, was officially signed into law by Barack Obama on October 30, 2009. aids.about/od/hivaidsbasics/fl/How-Many-Countries-Bar-Entry-to-Travellers-with-HIV.htm?nl=1
