You know what I find so incredibly frustrating about all this? I mean the HIV Immigration B.S.
It’s that I can’t stand up, reveal myself and speak my mind in public for fear of discrimination by the very policy I’m railing against, because were I to do that I would be listed and barred.
As a Canadian, it is abhorrent to me that I have to sneak into the U.S.A. to for a weekend family anniversary celebration. I mean, my friends and family welcome me into their homes as a guest, but that border crossing sure makes it rough.
I can’t speak out because I’m not a U.S. citizen.
I would if I could, but I can’t do it.
So, it’s up to YOU, in the United States, to help stop stigma, fear and AIDS.
Bring down the travel barriers!
Then we can have more dialogue, more and free exchange of ideas and knowledge. That will speed up treatment development and maybe a cure. We’ve just seen a cooperative breakthrough this past week.
And you may then host International AIDS Conferences—and finally have The Boston Conference!

I'm in agreement, but isn't this thread along the same lines of 2 other currently running ones? Our displeasure is not new information.

Ditto, Wellington.
I'm going to lockthis one. Anyone who wants to respond or comment should use one of the threads that was already started.
