Ban on HIV+ travellers lifted. Wait, what ban?
The gay community seemed shocked this week by the existence of a ban on HIV positive travellers entering the United States, and by its temporary lifting for Chicago's Gay Games.
The ban has been in effect since 1987, and is reportedly enforced via the discovery of anti-retroviral medication in passenger luggage.
The Illinois Family Association is mortified by the policy change. I'm left wondering how this one slipped by the sharp-eyed folks in the current Bush admin, who have missed a great opportunity to pander to the right by disrupting the Gay Games.
