UN Secretary-General Urges Countries To Follow The United States And Lift Travel Restrictions For People Living With HIV

November 6, 2009 by admin

UNAIDS welcomes President Obama’s announcement of the final rule removing entry restrictions based on HIV status from US policy. The removal of HIV-related travel restrictions in the US overturns a policy that had been in place since 1987. Such restrictions, strongly opposed by UNAIDS, are discriminatory and do not protect public health.
