Singling out a people because of their nation seems unfair. You do have a point however I am against policies aimed at a single people, it is condescending and unfair. Yes AIDS may be more common in Africa but I feel it is unfair to make people feel they are less than others, and imo, that is what such a policy would do.

Hold on a minute here; yes it's not nice to make people feel bad, but here's the deal; the people get FREE AIDS tests and given the information and permitted entry to the UK. Those who have the disease, well, I'm sorry, but our charities do try and provide amenities in Africa which they can use. This is too important to not want to hurt feelings, if it's in the national interests of the receiving population.
