China Could Lift HIV Visitor Ban: State Media

From AFP:

China could lift a longstanding ban on HIV-positive foreigners entering the country as early as this month, state media reported Wednesday.

Citing “insiders,” the China Daily newspaper said the State Council, or Cabinet, decided on Monday it would make changes to laws barring foreign HIV carriers.

Under current regulations, those suffering from infectious diseases such as leprosy or HIV/AIDS or from mental disorders are not allowed in, the report said.
