HIV + PPL CLAIM TRAVELLING RIGHTS...

On January 4, 2010 the ban preventing non citizens of the United States who are living with HIV /AIDS from entering the country was lifted. The significance of this has not been lost on the Jamaican persons living with HIV and AIDS (PLHIV) population and the impact of it is already being noted.


Ppl with HIV may now apply for visas without the embarrassment of having to divulge their status at any point and will also be spared significant delays at the airport. On another level, many ppl with HIV who were being filed for are finding it easier to be united with family and friends in the United States (US).
