Second. very franklyyou have not addressed the matter of privacy and civil rights for those who test positive. There is a whole range of reasons that obviously cause those that have greater knowledge than I to say this is not the way to go. I might add. in the matter of the other part of the amendment that deals with immigrants. the Public Health Service has made a recommendation there. Now we have a conflict. The second part of the amendment addresses immigrants. The Public Health Service has apparently made a recommendation to the administration that there be a screening of the more than 530.000 immigrants who seek permanent residence in the United States. The National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine. however. has stated: The U.S. government has recently proposed adding clinical AIDS to the list of "dangerous contagious diseases" for which aliens may be denied admission to the United States. This action acknowledges the risk that such people may pose to sexual contacts and the burden that they may put on the U.S. health care system.
