My friend married and American and they are about to file the paper work. She told me that she had to get a medical exam done to go along with the paper work. My question is because she has an S.T.D. called HPV. Does this mean that she will be denied? She hasn't stop to think about that. I would imaging because a medical exam is being requested it's to make sure a person does not come into the country with HIV/Aids or tuberculous or hepatitis. I hope this won't affect her chances of being illegible for permanent entry into the U.S.A..

PASTED FROM USCIS SITE:

: What is a communicable disease of public health significance?

A “communicable disease of public health significance” is defined in the Health and Human Services (HHS) regulations. According to the HHS regulations, 42 CFR 34.2(B), each of the following diseases qualifies as a “communicable disease of public health significance”:

Chancroid

Gonorrhea

Granuloma inguinale

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection

Leprosy, infectious

Lymphogranuloma venereum

Syphilis, infectious stage

Tuberculosis

If the civil surgeon finds a communicable disease of public health significance, you are inadmissible. Your doctor will recommend a course of treatment. Some medical conditions are not easily treatable. However, you may still qualify for adjustment of status by filing a waiver application.
