In recent news, U.S. might start allowing AIDS and HIV positive travelers, which has been banned since 1987.  I think this is a bad idea as there’s no guarantee that the AIDS/HIV traveler will reveal that he/she has HIV.

What if a 20 year old went to a party and slept with one of those travelers?  Now, what if that 20 year old didn’t know he got HIV until 3 years later while he slept with 20 other women.  That’d be serious spread of HIV.

Although I do condone with HIV positive people, there’s no guarantee that they will in good faith not sleep with another person.

The US is one of only a dozen countries - including Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Libya and Russia - that ban travel and immigration for HIV-positive people.

America’s travel ban has been in force since 1987.

The provision lifting the ban was part of a bill granting some $50bn in funding for the fight against HIV/Aids throughout the world.

Here’s a collection of places not to go for a vacation unless it’s part of your job.  As for me, I am not going ANYWHERE there’s a war, communists, or any weird crap.

The Sudan is engaged in (depending on your definition of genocide), Genocide! There is a mass killing currently going on. In the west we are defining it as simply Arabs killing Africans. Not quite. There are a lot of factors going on here. It is a conflict between farmers and herders, Chad baked rebels and Sudanese government-backed militias. Oil, China, Islam, Christianity, lack of water and land, territorial claims and yes, race. The government in Khartoum has claimed that western interference will only make things worse. The south of the country is a war zone. The north is in an economic depression. Khartoum is ranked as one of the worst, poorest and dilapidated places on the planet. Sounds like fun right?
