Series Description
This series includes memos, notes, correspondence, legal documents, flyers and press releases dealing the Nickles amendment,
a National Institute of Health (NIH) bill, detainment of HIV positive Haitian refugees at Gauntanamo Bay. The Nickles amendment
and the NIH bill were attempts to legislate the exclusion of HIV immigrants, rather than leaving immigrant restrictions under
the advisement of the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The HIV restrictions on immigration were called into question
when the United States detained over 200 HIV positive Haitian refugees at Gauntanamo Bay in 1991.

Series Description
This series includes information on the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th International Conference on AIDS. There is extensive
documentation on the 8th conference, which Fabregas campaigned to have moved from Boston due to U.S. immigration restrictions.
Once the conference was moved to Amsterdam, Fabregas campaigned to have the issue of HIV immigration and travel restrictions
addressed at the opening ceremony. After petitioning the conference committee, Fabregas was eventually invited to speak about
immigration and travel restrictions at the opening ceremony of the 8th International Conference on AIDS. At the conference,
Fabregas publicly challenged the Bush administration to enforce the HIV restrictions on his re-entry into the United States.
Fabregas re-entered the U.S. without any issues. The mayor of San Francisco proclaimed Fabregas‚ return to the U.S. as Tomas
Fabregas Day.
