In Barbados, there are no known laws related to HIV status and travel. This means that, if you're a foreigner who is planning to visit Barbados, you will not be asked for a medical certificate or proof of your HIV status upon entry in the country. There is also no evidence that, if you take an HIV test and test positive, that you will be deported or expelled from the country (though we also have no evidence of laws that prohibit such actions). It is legal to import antiretroviral medication for personal use, though one should carry a doctor's note with the medication.<ref>[http://www.hivtravel.org/Default.aspx?PageId=143&CountryId=42 BARBADOS - REGULATIONS ON ENTRY, STAY AND RESIDENCE FOR PLHIV]</ref> | |||
