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.

This page on Taiwan shows that HIV is not an entry problem:

Employment law is different and also shouldn’t ask about HIV any more. So this information might be out of date – or it might not be legal.
Can you or a firend contact the company anonymously to ask, without it affecting your application.
In the UK there are very few jobs where you can’t be HIV positive and most of those are actually okay so long as you are on effective treatment.
I’m planning to work in Taiwan as a language teacher. Recently, I got a job offer and contract. However, upon reading the contract, it explicitly tells the below information:
ARTICLE VI － TERMINATION AND EFFECT OF CONTRACT (2) After his/her entry to R.O.C., failing medical check-up or being found to be
suffering from tuberculosis, venereal disease, infectious disease, malaria or
HIV-positive anti-bodies, and drug addiction, as evidenced by findings from
a public hospital designated by R.O.C. government.
(3)During the period of employment, being found out suffering HIV positive
antibody or other disease, heavily wounded or stool parasite, which cannot
be cured within one month.
After reading the contract, I’m losing hope and my self-esteem reached rock bottom. I HATE MY SITUATION.

Hi Jovi, yes you can work in the UK. There are no restrictions in the UK for people living with HIV. Treatment is free regardless of residency status and your status will not be a barrier to employment.
