Medical examination of aliens--HHS. Final rule.

Fed Regist. 1987 Aug 28;52(167):32540-4. Unique Identifier : AIDSLINE AHA/87300902

Abstract: This rule amends the Med Examination of Aliens regulations (42 CFR Part 34) by substituting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) on the list of dangerous contagious diseases and by expanding the scope of the medical examination to include serologic tests for HIV infection. Serologic testing to identify HIV infection in applicants is be performed as part of the medical examination conducted in the country which the alien applies for a visa or for adjustment of status. Section 518 of Public Law (Pub. L.) 100-71, the Supplemental Appropriations Act of 1987, contains a provision requiring the HIV infection be added to the list of dangerous contagious diseases contained in 42 CFR 34.2(b).
