As President, Obama lifted the ban of travel to the United States by people living with HIV

One of the interesting facts about Barack Obama is that as President, Obama lifted the ban on people living with HIV in the United States. President Obama made the decision to lift the travel restriction on people with HIV during his first term in office. A person with HIV could only visit the US for medical reasons under that law, and access visas are scarce.

The National AIDS Policy was one of the major policy adjustments made by Barack Obama while he was president. He removed a 20-year ban on HIV-positive individuals traveling to or entering the country. Immigration Equality organized the lifting of the embargo. Obama honored a campaign pledge made in 2008 when he signed the Don't Ask, Don't Repeal Act of 2010 on December 22. Let alone in 1993 prevented gays and lesbians from serving openly in the United States Armed Forces. In 2016, the Pentagon ended its policy of banning openly transgender people from serving in the military.

Additionally, he made it legal for those who test positive for HIV to receive medical care. The action was praised for being in support of human rights. Human rights advocates applaud the action, which has long abused human rights. HIV-positive non-US citizens are eligible to seek permanent residence.
