Is it true that individuals immigrating to the United States are denied entry based on a positive HIV test?

The assertion that individuals immigrating to the United States are denied entry based on a positive HIV test is false. This reflects a significant change in U.S. immigration policy. Prior to 2010, people with HIV were classified as "inadmissible," meaning that a positive HIV test could indeed result in denial of entry. However, since the repeal of this policy, individuals with HIV cannot be denied entry solely on the basis of their HIV status.

This change aligns with a broader commitment to combat stigma and discrimination related to HIV. It acknowledges that medical conditions, including HIV, should not preclude individuals from immigrating if they meet other legal and health requirements required by immigration law. Therefore, a positive HIV test does not impact an individual's eligibility to enter the United States, making the correct response to the question "False."
