POLITICS Peace Corps To Stop Discriminating

– August 1, 2009Posted in: Cover Stories, Culture, Gay News Brief, Health & Fitness, Politics

NEW YORK – After pressure from the American Civil Liberties Union, the Peace Corps has agreed that it will no longer terminate volunteers just because they have HIV. The ACLU demanded the policy change on behalf of a volunteer who was sent home from his post in the Ukraine and terminated after he tested positive for the disease.
