| 10277. MEDICAL EXAMINATION OF ALIENS. An analysis of a proposed new rule published in the January 22, 1991 issue of the Federal Register. The rule, proposed by the Public Health Service's Centers for Disease Control, alters the existing list of "dangerous, contagious diseases" which is used to exclude aliens (both immigrants and non-immigrants) from entry into the U.S. The rule would eliminate HIV infection, several sexually transmitted diseases and leprosy from the list, leaving only tuberculosis. The reason behind the proposed changes, the political, medical, and economic effects of the new rule, and possible alternatives and improvements to the rule are considered. The concluding analysis recommends implementation of the new rule, with only minor modifications calling for a program of health education specifically focused on AIDS prevention. 19p., 46f., 20b. |
