Abstract

Last year Canada turned away 75 people with HIV/AIDS because the federal government said that they would place excessive demands on publically funded services. Another 207 people with HIV/AIDS were allowed to enter Canada, mainly because of exemptions to the excessive-demand provisions. HIV/AIDS organizations have objected to the government's policy of mandatory HIV-antibody testing of potential immigrants and have expressed concerns about the way in which excessive demand is calculated.
