Cascade AIDS truly proves the good in Oregonians in answering the many needs of those living with HIV/AIDS. Yet while we have come a long way from the stigma. fearmongering. and rampant discrimination of the 1980s against those living with HIV/AIDS. our Nation continues to discriminate. As many of you may not know. the United States is 1 of only 12 Nations with an HIV immigration and visitor travel ban. Although we are the leader in public and private HIV research. we also legally ban people from entering the country who are HIV positive. It does not matter whether the individual seeks to enter the U.S. to attend a global health conference. conduct business. vacation. or visit family or friendsthey are all categorically banned from entering the U.S. because they are HIVpositive.
