I did not know that there was a twenty year ban on people who tested HIV positive traveling or immigrating from other countries into the United States!  I was just reading on the Time website that there are a dozen countries that ban HIV positive people from traveling into their countries.  I was really surprised to learn about the ban, and really glad to hear that it will probably be lifted soon.  Having said that, it will take an act of Congress to lift the ban!  There is supposed to be a vote on that this week.  It will be interesting to see if it passes.
