In 2009, Obama lifted the ban on AIDS cases entering the United States. Describing HIV as “a virus that has touched lives,” he announced that he was ending a ban based on “fear rather than fact.”
Obama didn’t specify what new facts about AIDS had been discovered that made it no longer infectious or a threat to public health. Instead he just had the CDC remove HIV from the list of “communicable diseases of public health significance.” Was HIV no longer of “public health significance”? The amount of money being lavished on it indicated otherwise. Was it then suddenly no longer communicable?
The CDC awkwardly tried to explain why syphilis, gonorrhea and other sexually transmitted diseases were still on the list, but HIV wasn’t. The answer could be summed as “because Obama said so.” The CDC did promise to “consider other diseases, including sexually transmitted diseases, for scientific review.” But most STDs don’t have their own billion-dollar lobby that can make or break politicians.
In a cage match between public health and politically correct cash, the winner was AIDS. And so the ban was lifted and immigrants no longer had to be tested for HIV.

We should stop researching AIDS cures and focus on Cancer cures.
We know how AIDS is transmitted and it is through activities that innocent god-fearing people would not participate in.
On the other hand, we don't know enough about cancer - but the research and work towards cures have provided benefits to the greater portion of society - in spite of our lack of knowledge on its origins or transmission vehicle.
If we closed our borders and refused to allow this disease to enter, we could shelter our population from it...the job of a government.....
Innocent God fearijng people dont get blood transfusions? Or go to the dentist? Or have a drug problem? Or have heterosexual sex with your legal spouse? All these have caused aids transmission.
2:07 - and wouldn't have if the original carriers hadn't done one of those things.....
Don't lose track of the topic: Aids and the present form of Ebola are bio-weapons.
Our government is evil and has an agenda to kill us.
Deal with that issue. Forget about who is having sex.
