Hi everyone, I have one doubt. I'm HIV+ (as my partner) and one of the requested vaccine is the MMR, which is a problem because of the HIV condition. So, does anyone know about it? Considering the letter I've got, the MMR vaccine is a must have. We are concerned.

Hi there,

Section 212(g)(2)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act provides for a waiver of otherwise required immunizations if the panel physician certifies that "such vaccination would not be medically appropriate." So, you should take this question up with the physician who conducts the medical examination, and he/she should be able to request an appropriate waiver.

Good luck with your process!

Yes but Section 212 (a) of the INA also states that one is in eligible for a visa (i) who is determined (in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Health and Human Services) to have a communicable disease of public health significance; (source: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/general/ineligibilities.html)

I believe HIV+ may fall under that category.

Edit: Never mind, HIV+ was removed from the ban list in 2010! Good luck!
