title: HIV-positive gay Mexican's Convention refugee claim denied.
abstract: In may 2006, the Federal Court of Canada upheld an Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) decision refusing to grant refugee status to an HIV-positive gay man from Mexico. The Court did not find patently unreasonable the IRB's conclusion that the applicant would not experience a lack of state protection against persecution and discrimination based on sexual orientation and HIV status.
