US AIDS law reversal praised but action stalled at HHS
At an August AIDS conference in Mexico City experts praised the United States for reversing a 15 year ban on HIV positive entrants. Yet two months after Bush signed the law, HHS has not issued the new rule or opened public comment. Senators Kerry and Smith urged quick action. House Democrats led by Barbara Lee and Henry Waxman demanded swift implementation. HHS notes the rule is being revised and will be completed within this administration.
