entry to USA - is HIV still a barrier?

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

thought there was no HIV travel ban since the UN meeting, but for my surprise when I intended to apply for a visa (which is no longer needed instead there is ESTA), there it was HIV as a criteria for travel into USA!!

Unfortunately I applied for the UN meeting due to my interest on this matter - HIV travel ban (and because this was an excellent opportunity like it was in Canada in Toronto Aids Congress to ban) and gave my name as HIV+.

It seemed there was the intervention of UN director in this direction and I heard about the ban. But what happened? just words?

Now I'm afraid to have problems with airport authorities... Any suggestions?

all the best
