If you're entering Hungary as a tourist, there are no restrictions based on HIV status, and you won't be asked for a medical certificate in order to enter the country. However, if you're a foreigner and you plan to apply for residency in Hungary, you will be asked to declare if you're infected with tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, syphilis, typhus, paratyphus or hepatitis B. If you're a citizen of the European Economic Area (EEA), you'll also be asked to make this declaration. Furthermore, in order to receive a residency permit, you will probably need to take an HIV test. Currently, undocumented immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers also receive mandatory HIV tests in Hungary. If you're a foreigner applying for residency and you test positive for HIV, you will not be automatically expelled from Hungary. Rather, the Hungarian government will assess your stability (i.e. if you have valid insurance at home). According to HIVTravel, "if they have a valid insurance at home, the Hungarian Social Security Fund may be willing to negotiate about providing services to the person to the account of their original insurance, provided that they have taxable income in Hungary and pay social security contribution."<ref>[http://www.hivtravel.org/Default.aspx?PageId=143&CountryId=85 HUNGARY - REGULATIONS ON ENTRY, STAY AND RESIDENCE FOR PLHIV]</ref> | |||
