International HIV/AIDS activists and people living with HIV have pushed for the ban’s removal since it went into effect in 1993 by an Act of Congress. The ban limited international travel of HIV positive foreign nationals by preventing them from entering the US without a special waiver, which only permitted short-term travel and required a complicated application process. Additionally, the ban prohibited HIV positive people from obtaining legal residency, and denied citizenship to thousands of people already living in the United States.
