I’m positive, which countries can I work in?

I’m looking for a teaching job abroad but I am hiv positive. Which countries can I get a work visa for without medical examinations?

Answer

Thanks for getting in touch.

Please see the following link:  http://www.hivtravel.org/  Here you’ll find the countries that don’t have an issue with positive people, as well as the ones that do. Your status won’t be an issue in the EU or the States.

    Hi Mariam, please see this website: https://www.hivtravel.org/ Most countries in western Europe have no restrictions. This website will let you check each country individually and show you if there are any restrictions/regulations that would prevent work.

    Hi bulelwa,

    In my personal opinion it’s up to you who you chose to tell about your status. However, you may need to declare your status on an visa application form. This will of course depend on where it is that you’re wanting to go. For more info, you’d need to contact the embassy of the country that you’re interested in. Jobs wise, again you’d need to see what their criteria was.

    Thank you for your answer. Would I need to disclose my status on my visa application or my job application or it’s fine even if I don’t?
