Judge halts Pentagon's efforts to discharge airmen with HIV

By Tim Fitzsimons and Associated Press

A federal judge in Virginia has ordered the U.S. Air Force to halt efforts to discharge service members who are HIV-positive.

U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema issued the preliminary injunction on Friday. She ruled that the Air Force’s treatment of HIV-positive personnel is “irrational, inconsistent, and at variance with modern science.”
