HIV-specific entry and residence regulations for Tunisia
The U.S. Department of State is unaware of any HIV/AIDS entry restrictions for visitors to or foreign residents of Tunisia.
(Source: 1)
There are no specific regulations concerning short-term stays in Tunisia. However, the granting of work and residency permits can be subject to health checks, and their granting may be denied in the presence of HIV. The regulations target foreign employees and immigrants.
There are no controls at the border and no regulations regarding control or deportation of concerned people.
Importing antiretroviral medication for personal use is allowed (quantities to cover intended period of stay).

People staying for more than 30 days in Tunisia have to provide a negative HIV test result.

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.
