TAKE ACTION: Pressure Senators to Ask HHS Nominee Kathleen Sebelius about the HIV Ban

Physicians for Human Rights has set up an action page asking Senator Senator Barbara Mikulski and Senator Bernie Sanders to make sure that Sebelius will make lifting the HIV immigration ban a priority if she is confirmed.

As most of you know, last summer Congress completed step one in a two step process to remove the HIV ban on travel and immigration by removing the ban from the language of the Immigration and Nationality Act. To fully remove the ban, however, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) must issue regulations which remove HIV from its list of “communicable diseases of public health significance.”

Please take a minute to visit the PHR page and call these Senators.
