In Bangladesh, there are no legal travel or residency restrictions regarding STI status. However, there have been some potential cases of immigration determination based on HIV status. According to HIVTravel, "The Government of Bangladesh has no written policy regarding the entry of individuals with HIV/AIDS. However, according to anecdotal reports, some HIV/AIDS entry restrictions may exist for visitors to and foreign residents of Bangladesh. The Government of Bangladesh has informed the Embassy that a health officer or immigration officer at the airport who has concerns about an individual's possible HIV/AIDS status will make a case-specific determination regarding that individual's entry."<ref>[http://www.hivtravel.org/Default.aspx?PageId=143&CountryId=26 BANGLADESH - REGULATIONS ON ENTRY, STAY AND RESIDENCE FOR PLHIV]</ref> | |||
