In Zambia, there are no travel or residency restrictions related to HIV status. This means that, if you're a foreigner who is visiting Zambia, you will not need to present a medical certificate related to your HIV status or reveal your HIV status in order to enter the country. Furthermore, if you plan to attain a work or residency visa in Burkina Faso, you will not be required to take an HIV test. If you are in the country and choose to have an HIV test, ad if you are found to be HIV-positive, you will not be deported or expelled from the country. You are also legally allowed to import antiretroviral medication, but prescription must be carried.<ref>[http://www.hivtravel.org/Default.aspx?PageId=143&CountryId=198 ZAMBIA - REGULATIONS ON ENTRY, STAY AND RESIDENCE FOR PLHIV]</ref> | |||
