==Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs/STDs)==
'''Important Note:''' If you think that you've been recently exposed to HIV (i.e. within 72 hours), seek out PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis). It's a month-long treatment that may prevent HIV infection, and it may be available in your city (see below for details). Take PEP as soon as possible.

If you're not Ecuadorian and you're applying for long-term residency, the government will require that you take an HIV test. If you test positive, it's not clear whether you will/will not be deported. However, if you test positive for HIV/AIDS after you have acquired residency, you will not be deported.<ref>[http://www.hivtravel.org/Default.aspx?PageId=143&CountryCode=EC HIV Travel: Ecuador]</ref>
