HIV-specific entry and residence regulations for Serbia

There are no specific entry or residence regulations for people with HIV/AIDS. No HIV test result is required when entering the country. A known HIV infection will not lead to deportation or the termination of a person's stay. 

Antiretroviral medication for personal use can be carried. It is recommended to carry the original packaging and a doctor’s prescription, ideally translated to Serbian.

HIV information / HIV NGOs in Serbia

A number of NGOs are active in HIV prevention. The Yugoslav Association For The Fight Against AIDS (JAZAS) and its youth organisation are the best known. 

At the federal level, there is also a group of experts for the protection against AIDS. The group has a permanent secretary. Equivalent committees recently became active at the level of the Republics of Serbia and Montenegro.

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/.
