If you test positive for HIV when you do immigration medical exam, do you get deported back to your country?

If you have a positive HIV test for the medicial you will be refused a green card. However they are a few expections to this rule

Generally, people with HIV are barred from both entering the country and receiving Legal Permanent Resident status (a green card). However, some waivers are available that permit people to enter the country or change their status to LPR. Before applying for a green card, you may want to find out your HIV status ahead of time at a site that conducts anonymous testing. You can find such a site by calling the National AIDS Hotline at 1-800-342-AIDS.

What types of waivers are available?
HIV Waiver鈥擣amily: If you have an immediate family member that is a legal permanent resident or a citizen, they may obtain an HIV waiver on your behalf. To qualify, you must show that a close relative who is a U.S. citizen will sponsor you, that you will not be a danger to public health, that there is a minimum possibility of you spreading HIV, and that you will not become a 鈥減ublic charge.鈥?
HIV Waiver鈥擧umanitarian:

The government may determine you are a 鈥減ublic charge鈥?and deny you legal permanent residency or re-entry into the U.S. if you leave for a period of time. A 鈥減ublic charge鈥?is a person who cannot support him- or herself without cash benefits such as Social Security Income (SSI). Public charge is not a barrier to obtaining citizenships, nor is it an issue for people granted asylum. To determine whether a person will become a public charge, the government looks at a number of factors including age, health, income, family size and education and skills

Hopefully.

You have to get a waiver. Do you have immediate family here?

You should.

I would think so, unless you have an unlimited source of money to pay for your care.

I don't think so as long as you don't give it to other people but they should

no..... the American government will take care of that person,all medical bills will be paid.

Oh God, I hope so!
