Removing requirement for self-disclosure of HIV status from Canada's Application for a Temporary Resident Visa.
In the lead up to AIDS 2006, a Working Group was able to help bring about changes to the questions posed to visitors who were applying for a Canadian visa--questions that effectively required disclosure of HIV status by HIV-positive persons who were aware of their status. In this article, which is based on a presentation at an abstract-driven session at the conference, Lori Stoltz outlines the collaborative efforts of the Working Group and describes the changes that were made.
