PHR Action Center

Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Physicians for Human Rights.

The short explanation of this alert was:

The reauthorization of the PEPFAR global AIDS legislation included a provision removing the current statutory ban on travel and immigration for people living with HIV/AIDS who wish to enter the United States. Yet the Administration still lists HIV on the list of "communicable diseases of public health significance" that automatically preclude a person from entering the United States.

Representatives Barbara Lee, Henry Waxman and Howard Berman are circulating a letter to other members of Congress urging the White House to swiftly reassess the Administration's HIV travel ban.

Ask your Representative to co-sign the letter urging the White House to completely abolish the discriminatory travel ban and to help ensure the complete elimination of HIV-related travel restrictions.

Please personalize the beginning of your message in the space provided, by telling your own story or discussing why this issue is important to you.

For any questions about this action or composing your letter, please contact Jirair Ratevosian.
