Around 40 million people worldwide are living with HIV, with 95% living in low- and middle-income countries. The HIV epidemic in the 1980s led to widespread stigmatization and criminalization, leading to discriminatory restrictions on HIV-positive individuals. As of 2019, 48 countries and territories imposed HIV-related limitations and mandatory testing, basing treatment on HIV status alone. Infected groups include sex workers, drug users, migrant populations, and gay men. Migrant populations are particularly vulnerable to HIV due to unsafe migration circumstances, coercion in the work environment, sexual exploitation, a lack of legal representation, and limited access to health services. UNAIDS’ 2019 report “Still Not Welcome: HIV-related Travel Restrictions” highlights the stories of HIV-infected migrants living in the Middle East, including Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. The report aims to shed light on restrictions on entry, stay, and residence of HIV-positive migrants and emphasizes the harmful consequences of such policies, which constitute gross human rights violations and hinder a global response to HIV.
