Having HIV/AIDS does not impact your right to work in Taiwan

(FWA 2026/04/10)

A:If you contract HIV or AIDS in Taiwan is your work permit revoked or are you repatriated?

B:No

HIV testing is not part of the mandated foreign worker health check-up. Employers and labor brokers are also not allowed to ask workers to undergo such tests or provide related test results

If a foreign worker contracts HIV in Taiwan, their right to work is not impacted. Employers are not allowed to dismiss or repatriate workers if they have HIV

Modern medicine can effectively control HIV and reduce the risk of transmission

If you believe you have been exposed to a high-risk situation, call the 1955 Hotline for a referral to a related organizations and consultation. Alternatively, use the “1955 E-LINE Medical Treatment Map” to find a medical facility and consult with a medical professional

※If you have any further questions about working, residency, transportation, or daily life in Taiwan, the ITaiwan AI Genie is always at your service.
