There are residency restrictions for individuals who have HIV. However, the Taiwanese government is working on potentially removing these restrictions in the future. For this reason, you may want to check the [http://www.hivtravel.org/Default.aspx?PageId=143&CountryId=175 HIV Travel page on Taiwan] in the future to confirm. However, as of January 2017, here are the restrictions: If you are HIV positive, you can visit Taiwan as a tourist without restrictions (no HIV test required). While you may technically not be allowed into the country, they have no way to test or prove your HIV status. However, if you want to stay longer than 90 days, or if you want to become a legal resident or worker, you must take an HIV test. If you are found to be HIV positive or if you refuse to take the test, you will be expelled from the country. If you already have a Taiwanese residency permit and you're found to be HIV positive, you may lose your residency permit. If you contracted HIV as a legal resident and from another Taiwanese resident, you can stay in Taiwan (but you must prove how you contracted it). According to HIVTravel, "There is an established appeals process, which allows foreigners who have been expelled from the country to appeal for re-entry. However, the appeals process is complicated and shrouded in secrecy (cf. pending case of Mr. & Mrs. Chang, http://archives.healthdev.net/pwha-net/msg00271.html)."
There are no restrictions on HIV-positive travelers to Taiwan. Foreigners applying for work or student visas are subject to a medical exam that includes an HIV test. As of January 2015, Taiwan no longer deports foreigners who are found to be HIV positive. <ref>[http://focustaiwan.tw/news/asoc/201501200010.aspx]</ref>
