People who are HIV-positive are not allowed by law to visit the Solomon Islands. This means that, if you're HIV-positive and you're a foreigner who is visiting the Solomon Islands, you may be deported if your HIV status becomes known. It should also be understood that border agents are legally allowed to ask for medical certificates, under the Solomon Islands Immigration Act, and anyone who plans to stay for over 90 days must take an HIV test.<ref>[http://www.hivtravel.org/Default.aspx?PageId=143&CountryId=151 SOLOMON ISLANDS - REGULATIONS ON ENTRY, STAY AND RESIDENCE FOR PLHIV]</ref> | |||

* [https://www.avi.org.au/inspiring-partners/ministy-health-and-medical-services/ Ministry of Health]: "Solomon Islands' Ministry of Health and Medical Services (MHMS) is responsible for the management and delivery of the health and medical services across the archipelago, and plays a crucial role in health education and promotion. The MHMS is the overwhelming provider of health services across the country's 992 islands. Eight out of nine provinces have a public hospital; provincial services include a network of health centres, aid posts, and village health workers. NGOs and faith-based organisations (such as four private hospitals owned and operated by church organisations) provide less than 15% of outpatient and inpatient services." | |||
