Washington, D.C., DC, United States (AHN) - A 22-year immigration ban preventing people with HIV/AIDS from entering the United States has ended.
The ban was enacted in 1987 during the height of the AIDS scare. President Barack Obama signed a law repealing it in October. That law goes into effect this month.
The move to end the ban started in 2008 when the Senate voted to overturn it as part of legislation reauthorizing funding for the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.
Then-President George W. Bush signed the bill into law on July 30 of that year, according to an October article by the Washington Post. But the ban officially remained in place until this year.
