HIV-specific entry and residence regulations for Austria
There are no specific entry or residency regulations for people with HIV/AIDS. Neither a medical certificate or an HIV test result is required when entering the country.
Sex workers are required to undergo regular health checks. This requirement is not connected with visa or residency permits.
(Source: 1) Foreigners with a known HIV infection are not subject to specific residence regulations. There are no regulations regarding the control, deportation or expulsion of those concerned.
Antiretroviral medication can be imported for personal use.
The legal regulations requiring health checks from non-EU citizens staying for more than six months are no longer in place. A new immigration law has been implemented as of January 1, 2006.

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
