What things can stop you entering in to the US is it just HIV?

They tell you that if they find something at your medical they will contact you directly. I remember one woman on here was found to have I believe a possible cancerous mass at her K1 medical. They will let you know.

As for what can keep you out of the US, I don't know of an exact list. It's really any medical condition they can perceive as communicable and/or a threat to others. There is no black and white, definite yes or no.
