If you want to visit Malaysia as a short-term visitor, you will not be asked for a medical exam or HIV test. However, if you wish to stay in Malaysia for more than three months (for example, if you plan to be a student or legal worker), you may be asked to take an HIV test. If you are found to be HIV positive, you will probably not be given a student or work visa. Furthermore, once you are in Malaysia, you may be asked for an annual HIV test if you are a foreign national. If you are found to be HIV positive, you will probably be deported within 3 days of the positive test result.<ref>[http://www.hivtravel.org/Default.aspx?PageId=143&CountryId=115 MALAYSIA - REGULATIONS ON ENTRY, STAY AND RESIDENCE FOR PLHIV]</ref> | |||
