You cannot decriminalize HIV/AIDS, think about it. Unfortunately, we have acquired it. Now its our responisibility to prevent it at all costs. Death is guaranteed to everyone, but we can improve lives by reducing transmission. AIDS/HIV doesn't have to affect the future generations. Be considerate, its a thought.

Well; having aplied for a visa waiver last year, which was denied because of the fact that I answered "yes" to the infamous question, I tjust tried again....and was AGAIN denied entry....probably because there was a discrepancy between the two applications....I refuse to submit myself to an interview at the US embassy in order to try to get access to that backwards country....I will go skiing in Europe....and spend money over there....at least I get in without a problem, even being HIV+

So we can attend the conference of IAS 2012 at Washington DC?But we need full scholarship because we do belong to poor country Nepal and do not know how to write abstracts or submit for scholarship.Is there any one to help or assist me to write abstract or apply for full scholarship so that I can land to my dream country and attend the IAS conference?

This sounds very good news. I have been chatting to a New York girl for a while now, we are both positive but professional people. Does this lifted ban mean not only can i now visit the girl of my dreams but maybe also move there one day ??

Its about time.I oftened wondered how the US could hold a world Aids conference when people who were poz werent allowed to come in to the US to attend it.Also I know several people from other countries that made themselves criminals for coming to the US and not letting anyone know.No one should be made to feel a criminal because of a health problem.I am glad the ban is no longer there.Let's hope it stays that way.

As far as I know, this is for visitors only (ie. under 3 months). This is NOT about opening the floodgates to allow thousands of HIV positive people "on death's door" to "swamp" your "wonderful health care system", contrary to the rumours Republican fear-mongers were spreading. Finally, I can cross a border only 45 miles from my home to visit the U.S. without feeling like a criminal, a wanted man about to be permanently barred at a moment's notice. The U.S. just re-joined civilization.
