This is so interesting from that "legal" point of view. It almost treats those with HIV/AIDS as a protected class unto themselves. But unlike other protected classes (race, religion, gender, age, and so on), HIV/AIDS affects everyone. Men and women. Old and young. Different races, religions and sexual orientations.
I agree that the ban should be lifted. But it makes me curious as to whether the United States bans people with other conditions or illnesses, and if so, what they are?
