China's maintains HIV-AIDS entry ban despite Olympic scrutiny

"BEIJING (AFP) — China has defied calls to lift its ban on foreign visitors with HIV-AIDS ahead of the Olympics, highlighting a restriction that critics say fuels prejudice against those with the disease.

Despite last week removing a ban on visitors with leprosy entering the country -- a move state media highlighted ahead of next month's Games -- the long-time block on people with HIV or AIDS remains in place.

The ban would mean that basketball legend Earvin "Magic" Johnson -- who won an Olympic gold with the US "Dream Team" in Barcelona in 1992 a year after announcing he had contracted HIV -- would not be allowed entry to Beijing as a tourist."

Didnt know there was a cure for HIV

Once you got it you got it, the Medication i believe controls it but its a shitload of meds daily

[DegenerateDood1]

[oldirtyku]

My cousin Vinny, no joke, has been living with aids since 1994 (HIV positive 1989). They have made tremendous progress fighting this disease.

this is a speculative scenario? correct? it is saying if he were to go...not that he has tried to go...

and if a country don't want to let somebody in because they have a disease,so what..just because we do things in america,doesn't mean china or anywhere else has to...check laws of places you wish to visit,if you are not allowed don't go...don't cry about it

My cousin Vinny, no joke. Is a lawyer..and helped me one time I was arrested in a backwoods-town.

I think having aids and the virus that causes aids are two different things. I believe he has the latter of the two.

Funny, there worried about Magic when you can't even walk in Beijing without a mask covering your face from all the pollution.

Some might call that ironic were the US to get upset about it:

U.S. Congress put this exclusion into the Immigration and Nationality Act itself, Section 212(a)(1)(A)(i) [8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(1)(A)(i)]:

Any alien . . . who is determined (in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Health and Human Services) to have a communicable disease of public health significance, which shall include infection with the etiologic agent for acquired immune deficiency syndrome” is ineligible to receive a visa and ineligible to be admitted to the United States.
