Are you talking about providers who accept appointments from Sub Saharan Africans or what? Which ethnic groups do we have to refuse? Very few nations outside of sub Saharan Africa have an infection rate above 1%. And the infection rate is higher in the uneducated classes who generally can't afford a trip to the U.S. anyway. If you use a condom and are careful not to touch fluid and then touch yourself without washing, it's very hard to transmit HIV. I have never rejected a person because of their ethnicity and frankly I think that would be a bit of a ridiculous way to stay safe. Thailand has a relatively high rate of HIV infection and many hobbyists visit there, so I guess I can't see anyone who has been to Thailand?
The best way we can all protect ourselves is by covering up every time and washing hands during encounters to avoid fluid transfer. I see no reason to blacklist particular ethnic groups.
