HIV-specific entry and residence regulations for Ecuador

I'm an expat living in Ecuador for 7 years, and I have gone through all the processes to become a legal resident. Never have I been asked to submit any medical test results, let alone an HIV test, to change migratory categories (from temporary to permanent resident status, for instance). There are no restrictions whatsoever for people living with HIV here. Actually, once you're a resident (temporary or permanent) you can access free medical care paid by the government and HIV treatment is part of that.

Global Criminalisation of HIV Transmission Scan

The Global Criminalisation Scan is an initiative of GNP+. It aims to collect and keep up to date information on national and state level laws criminalising the transmission of or exposure to HIV. It also aims to provide an easily accessible ‘clearing-house’ of resources, research, and initiatives on the subject and to provide a platform for advocacy initiatives.

Find out more about the scan and the criminalisation of HIV transmission legislation at http://criminalisation.gnpplus.net/.
