Should check for HIV infection in migrants?

When people migrate here from countries where there is a high proportion of HIV infection, should we test them to see if they are HIV positive?

virtually all of the recently diagnosed HIV cases in the uk are in people recently from sub sahara africa. It cost thousands per year just to treat 1 case. one person can infect countless others without even knowing. so yes we should test all migrants and everyone should be screened in the same way we screen woman for brest cancer on a regular basis too.

nah man, we welcome all diseases here in the united states! Of course we could not allow this political incorrectness!

Why only immigrants? If thats your attitude then perhaps you shouldn't discriminate and everyone over the age of 16 should be check. Annually. Having first been shot with a tranquiliser dart if they refuse.

I'm pretty sure we do, and for TB, polio and the other dandy diseases that have come back to our country with the illegal immigrants.

Why let the dirty b*stards into this country at all?

yes we should

Why don't you do some basic research before you post a question, so you won't look so foolish?

Immigrants to the US all take a comprehensive medical exam that includes an HIV test. Have done for years. Being HIV positive is not an automatic bar to immigration.

Yes. if they have it, send them back, with a £5 postal order to get treatment.

Yes. I think we should. Granted we have our "own" here who already have it, but, sometimes, other countries seem to carry more contagious diseases.

Definately , why should people bring their diseases into our country , unchecked , and then expect us to fund their treatment , not to mention infecting others , and so it goes on and on.Put a stop to this Bloody Stupidity -- Now

Why? Do you think that's how it spreads?

You'd be better off testing all under 25s, who statistically are the ones actually spreading HIV.

Why oh why do we have to be so politically correct all the time in the UK. I am not advocating the violation of human rights here but surely if HIV is a transmittable disease surely it makes sense that people who come here from countries where HIV is rife should'nt they be tested not only for their own sakes but for the well being of others.

Wake up the UK government! Again.

although that sounds like a good idea it is ethically wrong, yes as a nation we could benefit from this but in testing immigrants you would have to test all british nationals aswell which is against our freedom as people, the only time i could see it as been ethically the right thing to do is if they are coming here to work as doctors /nurses/dentists/midwives i think it would be understandable to be tested then if they came from a high risk area only or if their family members are known to have the disease, but not immigrants from all over the world...but i think it treads a very thin line between using it as a protective measure or using it as a way to stop immigration, it would also cause hatred to every immigrant as us common people of england would no doubt assume all immigrants must be hiv+......
