    nydailynews.com 3 weeks, 6 days ago

    Q. If I test HIV positive, can I still get a green card? I will be married in January. My fiancé is a U.S. citizen. I entered on a visa, but overstayed the time granted me to be here. I was married before, and I recently learned that my ex-husband tested HIV positive.

Additional Info

via Wikipedia
Leprosy or Hansen's disease is a chronic disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis. Named after physician Gerhard Armauer Hansen, leprosy is primarily a granulomatous disease of the peripheral nerves and mucosa of the upper respiratory tract; skin lesions are the primary external sign. Left untreated, leprosy can be progressive, causing permanent damage to the skin, nerves, limbs and eyes. Contrary to folklore, leprosy does not cause body parts to fall off, although they can become numb or diseased as a result of secondary infections; these occur as a result of the body's defenses being compromised by the primary disease. Secondary infections, in turn, can result in tissue loss causing fingers and toes to become shortened and deformed, as cartilage is absorbed into the body.
