HIV/AIDS is not highly contagious as TB can be and we (America) would not know if someone entering the country had HIV/AIDS unless they had a sign on their chest saying "Hey I've got AIDS, let me in" Also, there is a small incubation window in which you could have the disease and not show positive if tested. So I'm not even sure if the current ban really had much merit other than individuals that already have full blown AIDS and were serial rapists or something.

Secondly, the comment about President Obama taking vacations and going to dinner with the first lady - not sure how that tied in with the HIV/AIDS ban being lifted. Not to mention I believe Bush Jr. holds the record for the most vacation taken...approximately 900 days if the internet sites are correct. That's over a year off per term.
