If you are visiting Kuwait as a short-term traveler or tourist, there are no restrictions related to HIV status. You will not be asked for a medical certificate or proof of your status upon entering the country. However, if you want to stay for longer than 90 days (i.e. obtain a work/student/residency permit), you will be required to take an HIV test. If you test as HIV-positive, the residence permit application will be withdrawn and you will need to leave the country. If you do not leave the country, you will be deported.<ref>[http://www.hivtravel.org/Default.aspx?PageId=143&CountryId=101 KUWAIT - REGULATIONS ON ENTRY, STAY AND RESIDENCE FOR PLHIV]</ref>
