There are no travel restrictions assigned to anyone with HIV or other STIs. As stated in the Republic Act, ""Nobody will be quarantined, isolated, denied entry to the Philippines or deported from the country due to a confirmed or suspected HIV infection." Furthermore, it is legal to import antiretrovirals for personal use (for up to 6 months), though you should carry a prescription from a doctor. However, if you are seeking legal residency in the Philippines, you may be rejected if you are HIV+.<ref>[http://www.hivtravel.org/Default.aspx?PageId=143&CountryId=144 PHILIPPINES - REGULATIONS ON ENTRY, STAY AND RESIDENCE FOR PLHIV]</ref> | |||
