HIV-specific entry and residence regulations for Uzbekistan
All restrictions on entry, stay and residence for people living with HIV in Uzbekistan have been lifted. The reforms were passed by Parliament in August of 2013 and signed by the President of Uzbekistan, Islam Karimov, on the 23rd of September 2013.

I had a job offer in Uzbekistan and applied for a visa in September 2020, feeling safe thanks to the information on this website and also elsewhere. When I applied for my long-term work visa, they didn’t ask for any test. So I went to Uzbekistan, where after a few weeks, they asked me for some extra documents to finalise my work permit license, and on top, they required me to present a negative HIV-test result. I was in shock and I refused, but there was no way around declaring my status. Therefore, I was not granted a work permit and had to leave Uzbekistan after six months.
My colleagues have to perform an HIV-test every year when renewing their work permit.

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
