It depends on the Medical exam, if the person with HIV is considered Excessive Demand, then they will probably be refused.

So it depends on whether the applicant has full-blown AIDS or is HIV+ and doesn't show any symptoms.

The medical instructions ask the doctor to determine whether you will develop illness and need significant treatment within the next 10 years.  Since there are HIV+ people who have never developed symptoms in 20 years, that leaves the door open to some for immigration.

If the applicant is taking retro viral drugs for the HIV, it will usually mean a refusal.  If the applicant is not taking any medication or a limited amount, which are not expensive, then there is a good chance for approval.
