Democrats Are Pushing Biden to Let HIV-Positive Americans Join the Military

A group of Democratic lawmakers is urging President Joe Biden to allow Americans who have tested positive for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, to enlist in the military.

The Pentagon announced earlier this year that HIV-positive troops will no longer be involuntarily separated or barred from deployment, but it kept restrictions on those with the virus enlisting or commissioning into the military.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
