Reiseverbote zeigen reale Diskriminierung von HIV

December 1, 2018 - Der World Aids Tag feiert heuer sein 30-jähriges Bestehen. Aber Reisebeschränkungen für mit HIV lebenden Personen sind weiterhin recht häufig, es gibt Einreiseverbote, Verweigerung von Arbeits- und Aufenthaltsgenehmigungen und sogar Abschiebungen.

HIV-related travel restrictions currently exist in more than 50 countries and territories across the world. Most of them place limits on the amount of time HIV-positive foreigners can stay, while a smaller number of countries ban entry altogether, or deport travellers found to have HIV.

The restrictions were largely adopted by governments in the early 1980s when little was known about HIV and its spread. Despite medical advances that have made HIV a manageable disease, the restrictions remain, perpetuating stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV, according to the UN.
