This means that, if you're a foreigner, you can enter the country, regardless of your HIV status, and visit for a short-term trip. However, if you're a foreigner who wants to get a residence card or work permit, you'll need to take a test and prove that your HIV-negative.<ref>[http://www.hivtravel.org/Default.aspx?PageId=143&CountryId=83 HONDURAS - REGULATIONS ON ENTRY, STAY AND RESIDENCE FOR PLHIV]</ref> <ref>[http://www.escapeartist.com/blog/requirements-retiree-residency-honduras/ Requirements For Retiree Residency In Honduras]</ref> | In Honduras, there are no known travel restrictions for people with HIV/AIDS.

In 2017, it was estimated that about 22,000 adults and children were living with HIV in Honduras. In total, about 0.3% of adults living in Honduras are living with HIV, according to estimates, and about 52% of people living with HIV are on ART (i.e. treatment). Generally, women tend to receive HIV treatment at higher rates than men, with about 65% of women on ART and 43% of men on ART. The higher rate for women may due to the additional medical care that women receive as mothers, since 65% of children with HIV are also on ART. It is estimated that about 53% of pregnant women receive ART for Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV (PMTCT).<ref>[http://www.unaids.org/en/regionscountries/countries/honduras UNAIDS, HIV and AIDS Estimates (Honduras)]</ref> | |||
