Major news out this week of a policy change for which many in our community have been waiting—and fighting—a long time. An HIV-positive diagnosis will no longer be considered grounds in and of itself for a service academy midshipman or cadet (or enlisted servicemember) to not commission, nor will it be grounds for limitations to deployability.
