Ending America's ban on HIV-positive visitors

Amazingly, to this day the U.S. maintains an embarassing ban on foreign travelers who are HIV-positive.

There is a bill in the Senate for the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). One of its provisions ends the ban on HIV-positive travelers. The White House is apparently on board, as are many Senators. Senator David Vitter (R-LA) is opposed. I believe this is S. 2731.

Let the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and your own Senators know your thoughts.
