I'm not terribly familiar with the policy to begin with. Why should it have been lifted?
Because it was implemented when their was widespread fear and ignorance surrounding HIV and with the information that is readily available today and has been available for the past decade, we know that HIV is not a disease that can be spread through casual contact.
Denying someone entry into the country because of their HIV status was another way to stigmatize those that have been affected and their families, and with the US supposedly being on the forefront of the fight against HIV it was just bad policy.
It was a nonsense policy implemented out of fear. It did not stop infected individuals from entering the country, only people who admitted they were infected. Totally worthless.

Mostly I would say it was put in place moreso due to ignorance about the disease. With all the information we've received about it, there's no reason for this policy.
WHEN was it implemented??? Clinton years? I know it obviously wasn't during Bush, Bush 1 , or Reagan's years, b.c someone would have mentioned that already if it was under any of them...
Lets regulate bake sales in Ny schools but allow people with aids in this country.
Makes total sense
