What are the post-arrival requirements for health assessments of HIV-positive refugees?
The health-care provider should perform an initial evaluation, counseling, and follow-up for the refugee. The post-arrival HIV(+) health assessment is procedurally distinct from the standard post-arrival health assessment. CDC should receive a copy of a letter from the health-care provider stating that the refugee has received an initial evaluation. For more information, see the USCIS Adjudicator’s Field Manual on the USCIS website at http://www.uscis.gov.
