But Canadian law does, in theory, authorize the exclusion of prospective immigrants who are HIV-positive, either because they pose a threat to public health or because their care and support would consume too many resources.<\/p>\n<p>Canadian immigration policy, in practice, currently recognizes that HIV positive immigrants do not represent a danger to public health, but it does allow that meeting their needs might impose an inordinate burden on Canada&#8217;s health and social service systems and that their applications for permanent residence may be denied for that reason. Whether these positions are ethically defensible is examined in this report.<br \/>\n<!-- Barry Hoffmaster; Ted Schrecker; public health; article 19; mandatory testing; prospective immigrants; immigrant status; refugees; immigration policy; Canada; Canadian; immigration policy; exclusion; HIV; AIDS; health care; cost; social services; humanitarian; compassionate --><p class=\"download-link-button\"><a class=\"download-link en\" title=\"An Ethical Analysis of the Mandatory Exclusion of Refugees and Immigrants Who Test HIV-Positive\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/download\/9397\/?tmstv=1777676501\" rel=\"nofollow\">\r\n\tDownload<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"publication_topics":[150],"publication_type":[172],"publication_language":[184,185],"class_list":["post-363","publication22","type-publication22","status-publish","hentry","publication_topics-immigration-and-travel","publication_type-booklets","publication_language-english","publication_language-french"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication22\/363","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication22"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/publication22"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication22\/363\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20630,"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication22\/363\/revisions\/20630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=363"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"publication_topics","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication_topics?post=363"},{"taxonomy":"publication_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication_type?post=363"},{"taxonomy":"publication_language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication_language?post=363"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
