That is totally in our purview. As hosts we have the right to determine if we want to accept people who are infectious. Many  HIV infected people have become that way due to their personal choices and reckless disregard to prevent transmission. Mr. Sullivan may be that case due to  his sexual choices.  HIV is actually coming under control and we do not need others to increase infection rates for a deadly disease. Travelers are also prevented from coming into the country who have other  infectious diseases. This is a public safety issue. Not a civil rights issue. Africa  suffers dreadfully from this disease due  to reckless behavior and poor hygiene and medical services. We do not need to suffer the same fate. Many who suffer this disease deliberately infect partners and some in the gay lifestyle are in love with the idea of death. Health professional are at risks since the is a blood born disease and we want to reduce the risks by reducing the amount of onfected people. That would be contradicted by allowing infected people to visit and stay in the US.  I totally disagree.  Visitors and Immigrants  do not have a right to the US. That is totally in our purview.
