  The majority of countries around the world, including the United States as of 2010, don't impose any restrictions for HIV positive travelers. A few countries do regulate entry by HIV positive travelers, however, presumably in an effort to keep the AIDS virus spreading to that country. Travelers should check with their national state department or their destination's embassy to be sure of any regulations before their journey.
  
  

Saudi Arabia

• The Middle Eastern country of Saudi Arabia does not allow travelers to work in the country if they are HIV Positive. Travelers who enter the country seeking work must take a medical exam and confirm that they are not HIV positive --- and do not have other contagious diseases --- via a medical report, as noted by the U.S. Department of State Travel website. This regulation affects all travelers regardless of their place of work.
  
  

Russian Federation

• The Russian Federation's regulations regarding the AIDS virus apply to any individuals who wish to stay within the country for three months or more, as noted by the Travel Notes website. These travelers must undergo a test to determine if they are HIV positive. Those who test negative receive a certificate to prove they do not have HIV. This certificate is written in both English and Russian. After a three-month period, the traveler must take another test.
  
  

Sudan

• Sudan, in northeastern Africa, officially does not allow anyone who has tested HIV positive to enter the country. Although the country's regulations may not always be enforced in practice, as noted by the HIV Travel website, travelers should note Sudanese law as it stands. To obtain an entry visa, all travelers --- whether tourist or business --- must first go to either the airport at the city of Khartoum, or to a Sudanese embassy, and show a certificate proving a negative result for HIV. Travelers staying in Sudan for three months or more should also be prepared to undergo a HIV test to prove they are still free of the virus. Travelers who are HIV positive cannot, in theory, stay in the country.
  
  

Iraq

• Iraq, in the Middle East, has a set of regulations for those visiting the country outside of the diplomatic service; these regulations do not affect diplomats. Travelers must present the outcome of a HIV test no more than 10 days after entering Iraq. Travelers should also take an HIV test if they wish to stay in the country for 10 days or more, as noted by the HIV Travel website. Those who test positive for either examination must leave Iraq immediately.
