[Guest guest]

June 2008 High-level meeting in New York

US HIV Visa

Waiver for the High-level meeting on AIDS: The June 2008 meeting

in New York

has been classified a “designated event”

for which an HIV visa waiver is available.

The US

restricts entry for People Living with HIV (PLHIV), and applying for a waiver

is not without issues and problems.

Gay Men's

Health Crisis (GMHC), has prepared an advisory note for PLHIV wanting

to travel to the US

to attend the meeting, to help decide what to do and how to do it.
