Answer
Hi
The UK does not require an HIV test for any visitor visa, including for students.
Hi Hari,
If you’re asking in relation to the UK, then yes your status won’t be an issue.
HIV people can get student Visa for masters
Hi Mis,
When applying for a visa for the UK you won’t be asked if you’re HIV, we don’t do this.
ARVs are free to anyone who lives in the UK, this includes international students. As to where you’ll access medication this will depend on where it is that you’ll be living. The following link tells you were the clinics are- https://i-base.info/find-or-change-clinic/ You’ll need to get in touch with a clinic and let them know your situation.
Yes you’ll be able to access the medication that you’re currently taking, we have this.
When you come over the easiest thing to do is to bring over a copy of your medical history as well as a few months supply of meds.
Hi there,
Hope this message finds you all well.
I’m planning to further my Masters in UK next year (2021) around September.
1) May I know if there’s a specific requirement when applying for a tier-4 student visa particularly involving my status as a PLHIV? Do I need to declare my status to the immigration? I’m really concerned.
2) May I know how I can get the medication below and also the cost?
Emtricitabine Tenofovir Disproxil Fumerate + Efavirenz ; My CD4 is 771 ; Viral Load is UVL
3) Is there a specific clinic, hospital or pharmacy in UK that I have to go to get them or is it available all across UK?
4) If yes, can I know the procedure?
5) Also, because of the pandemic and Brexit, is there a possiblity for NHS to increase the price of the medications for international students? If yes, how much is the estimate price?
Apologies for the long winding questions but I hope you understand.
Thank you and hope to hear from you soon.
Staying safe,
MIS
Hi Zac,
We don’t test people for HIV, so no it’s not mandatory when applying for a visa.
Is it mandatory to be HIV negative or does it require to undergo HIV test if a person applies for work permit in UK under Tier two
Hi Aryan,
