HIV-positive immigrants will soon be on the way to a city near you

Some of you are asking what happened with the bill to open the door to HIV-positive immigrants. Since I was away at the end of the week, I didn’t get all the details on final passage in the Senate of the $50 billion bill to provide funds to countries fighting HIV/AIDS and other diseases. The bill passed the Senate with the section intact to lift the ban on HIV-positive immigrants to the US. There are a few more legislative hoops, but last I heard it was on a fast track and expected to be signed by the President.
You can learn more (and get the gory details) about what happened by going to Blue Ridge Forum here.
