Countries in Africa are rife with AIDS and if they're not jumping off the back of a lorry in Dover they are stepping off a plane at Heathrow and taking a cab ride to London Teaching Hospitals.

Am I morally wrong in believing that diseased individuals should be refused entry to this country on public health grounds ? Surely I must have some sort of human right to be protected from imported disease ?
