The people who are legally allowed to immigrate here are usually skilled and thus knowledgeable enough to take preventative measures. As said, HIV is low risk transmission compared to influenze and tuberculosis - there is no practical need to ban HIV infected immigrants.
They really should, they won't be treated like scum in the manner of American medical patients.
When there are more people knocking on the door than we have room for, we set criteria for weeding them out.
Infection with a terminable infectious disease is an excellent rake to weed undesirables out.
The cemetaries are populated with thousands of engineers and doctors and other intelligent people who died from AIDS infections received after it became common knowledge that unprotected gay sex was a possible death sentence.
So you can quit pretending that educated immigrants with HIV are just too darn cute...er intelligent to be spreading their junk around like some illegal alien snuck across the border.
