HIV-specific entry and residence regulations for Mexico
There are no specific entry regulations for people with HIV/AIDS (neither for immigrants nor for tourists).
Regulations in the Mexican law on foreigners consider the reason of stay and the person’s residency status. There is no reference to serostatus or HIV/AIDS as a condition. Specific regulations are online at
www.inami.mx.
We have no information about specific conditions on importing antiretroviral medication for personal use.
HIV/AIDS is not grounds for expulsion.

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
