Senator KERRY and I have introduced legislation. which was been included in this bill. to simply return the authority to the Department of Health and Human Servicesas with other diseasesto decide whether or not HJV should be grounds for inadmissibility to the U.S. This ban is a byproduct of the ignorance surrounding HIV in the 1980s and 1990s. By lifting this ban. we can finally set free the specters of phobia from our past and fully embrace our global leadership on HIV/AIDS. I urge my colleagues to join with me and Senator KERRY in removing this stigma from our immigration policy.
