Paris – HIV-positive people should also be able to become soldiers in France in the future. French Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu announced on France 2 TV channel on Monday that he would revise the eligibility criteria for entry into the armed forces. Once the relevant decree has been published, infection with the HI virus will no longer be a fundamental exclusion criterion in the army, gendarmerie and fire brigade of Paris and Marseille.
