Health Warrior - 27 Jan 2006 23:22 GMT

Greetings,

Although I have been in the public health field for many years, I am
not familiar with the public health or social or international programs
available for patients with HIV and that is why I am contacting you.

A public interest lawyer friend of mine has been undergoing an arduous
process of trying to bring his bride from an Eastern Block country ( I
think Estonia) to the US so he can marry her and have her live with him
in the US.

But during the mandatory medical examination, this lady tested positive
serology for HIV.

My friend is negative and very upset since this issue has stalled the
immigration procedure unless he obtains medical insurance for her. The
US Immigration policy to bring a bride to the US is hard enough but
imagine now with this recent discovery, INS is making it almost
impossible.

Can you help me help him?

His questions are:
1. Is there any resources or programs that enable a person like his
bride fulfill her dream of coming to America even if she has HIV? She
has never been to the US and would love to visit the US.

2. Is there an organization that can help provide medical insurance at
low cost or subsidized cost for her while she is in the US, even if its
in a temporary basis? My friend is a public interest attorney and will
try to pay as much as he can but I am afraid that the insurance can be
staggering.

3. Do you know of any leads that I can contact to see if my friend can
obtain any hopes of bringing his love here?

I really want to help my friend and I did not know where else to ask.

I appreciate any leads you can help me.

Warm Regards,

A guest in a mental institution doesn't count.

Besides haven't you heard, there is no such thing as aids.

If she is on an aids medication tell her to take smaller doses.

If she isn't on meds, blame Bush.

If she wants them but can't afford them, blame the drug companies.

Either way she is f.cked.

Perhaps you wanted an answer from a democrat.

Here's an answer from a libertarian fascist anarchist: I realize her
desire to visit the USA is sincere and that she means no harm, but we
simply cannot allow it. The prohibition on known HIV+ persons entering
the country is necessary to prevent the USA becoming a dumping ground
for every AIDS patient on earth. We already have a very expensive law
that guarantees HIV treatment to those who cannot afford it, adding
the millions of AIDS patients around the world would bankrupt us.

Republicans would do something at least as idiotic, but I can imagine
a Democrat judge ruling that a foreigner's HIV+ status is grounds for
granting political asylum.

did she test positief in her own country! countries, even states in america
have diffrent test for "hiv" and diffrent criteria to be labeled
positief.

so check which test she did in her own country! she which test your state
uses. she might then turn out negatief.

when she tested did she had any other infections, or diseases at that
moment! it could have given her a postief,because of the other infections.
it might be possible.

put your question also on the aidsmythexposed.com forum . see what the
might know.

like here you could use a hiv home test if thats turn positief ,doesnt say
anything. you could then test with your local hospital. they will run a
test ifthat test test positief tehn it is possible that you might have
"hiv". then the test you with another test and if that test positief you
get the label "hiv".

like in africa is just one test, diffrent test then in us. if you test
positief on that test. your labeld ""hiv + ""
