The government of Tajikistan requires visitors who remain in country for more than 90 days to present a medical certificate showing that they are HIV-free, or to submit to an HIV test in Tajikistan. This testing requirement is not currently being implemented, but enforcement could begin at any time. Because of the lack of medical supplies, submitting to an HIV test in Tajikistan could pose a health risk. HIV is a growing health threat in Tajikistan.
