There are no travel restrictions related to HIV or STI status in New Zealand. However, if you want to stay over one year in New Zealand, there may be some restrictions, according to HIVTravel. We'll need more information on this to confirm the legal requirements.<ref>[http://www.hivtravel.org/Default.aspx?PageId=143&CountryId=133 NEW ZEALAND - REGULATIONS ON ENTRY, STAY AND RESIDENCE FOR PLHIV]</ref> | |||

* New Zealand has an HPV vaccination program: "Girls and young women aged from 12 to their 20th birthday can receive Gardasil free under the Ministry of Health’s HPV Immunisation Programme. HPV vaccination involves three doses by injection, usually spread over six months. Your Family Doctor and Primary Health Care Nurse will be able to give you more information on the cost of this vaccination."<ref>[http://www.hpv.org.nz/hpv-vaccination-girls HPV vaccination for girls]</ref> | * New Zealand has an HPV vaccination program: "Girls and young women aged from 12 to their 20th birthday can receive Gardasil free under the Ministry of Health’s HPV Immunisation Programme.

* re-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is currently not available in New Zealand but will probably will be in the future. This is the update from the NZ AIDS Foundation (August 2016): "Truvada is not currently approved by Medsafe for use as PrEP in New Zealand, nor is it funded by Pharmac for this use. We are pleased to see that Gilead Sciences Inc., the manufacturer, submitted the application to Medsafe in July 2016. It could take some time for Medsafe to process the application but we expect it will be fast-tracked because it recently received approval in Australia. After Medsafe has approved Truvada for use as PrEP, it would then need to be approved for funding by Pharmac."<ref>[https://www.nzaf.org.nz/hiv-aids-stis/hiv-prevention/prep/ Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)]</ref> | |||
