Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 4 February 2022 to Question 114925, on Armed Forces: HIV Infection, whether policy changes will be agreed by the end of March 2022 in respect of the implementation of his new policy of allowing people living with HIV to join the armed forces.
It remains the expectation that policy changes will be agreed by the end of March 2022, allowing those living with HIV to join the Armed Forces, if they are stable on treatment with no detectable viral load. A Government announcement will be made as soon as the new policy is implemented.
