Minority women. in particular. have suffered tremendously due to the lack of research. or because they are unaware of prevention and detection measures. Unfortunately. the strides this bill takes In health research are tainted by the scourge of discrimination. The NIH conference report includes a provision that will codify the regulatory ban on the permanent admission into the United States of Immigrants infected with the HIV virus. One of my greatest concerns is the way in which immigration officials will determine who Is infected. Will they single out Haitians because the United States had erroneously labeled them as primary carriers of the virus? Will Europeans be subject to the same scrutiny?
Identified stereotypes
Questioning whether immigration officials will unfairly target Haitians as primary carriers of the virus.
