November 2, 200916 yr To be honest, I didn't even know such a ban was in place... I'm shocked that something like this was created! I'm really glad that President Obama has decided to take action and change this (in my opinion) silly law. The President summed it up quite well when he said, "If we want to be the global leader in combating HIV/AIDS, we need to act like it." A step in the right direction - if we want to make any sort of dent in combating/curing this disease, shunning those who have it is far from the right thing for our country to be doing. Thanks for sharing, Adrenal!
November 2, 200916 yr wow that surprised me as well. I had no idea. Glad it's being fixed though. I suppose though it was hardy ever really enforced much. I can't really see the travel agencies having much access to foreign hospital records or even really going that far out of the way to do background health checks. 2001-2006 the fourth and last legit 123 on classic123 classic/137 rs2 Native American Pride
November 2, 200916 yr Can't stop AIDS unless you quarantine it :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
November 2, 200916 yr Can't stop AIDS unless you quarantine itBecause those attempts have been working so well.

November 2, 200916 yr Can't stop AIDS unless you quarantine itBecause those attempts have been working so well.There hasn't been any.There are, otherwise there wouldn't have been a ban in the first place. Besides, the problem isn't that the infected people aren't quarantined, it's that there isn't a cure.
November 4, 200916 yr Good, the ban was brought in through a combination of scaremongering and homophobia - glad it's now being overturned.
November 6, 200916 yr Sounds like genuine treatment and cures for HIV might not be too far off anyway.
November 9, 200916 yr Good do see it's being changed. Why the hell was this ever in place? "Those who give up their liberty for more security neither deserve liberty nor security." Support transparency... and by extension, freedom and democracy.
November 10, 200916 yr How would they tell if you got HIV? :grin: "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."
November 10, 200916 yr Lol, who was the idiot who put it in place in the first place? It's like trying to close your door after all of your pets have already ran outside. So idiotic on so many levels.

If you don't have sex with every random person you see you are probably not going to get it. Ponies!
