Forget about working anywhere in the GCC.  As an HIV positive expat, you will not get a visa and will be deported.  They don't care about viral load.  They will do an antibody test and for you, that will be positive for life.

@Ariefshaik1006 - my advice is get a 2nd opinion from a certified professional - don't take it for granted - your future is 1st no matter what - Go see your doctor and get a doctor's note - whatever the result - stay safe!

Second opinion on what?  His HIV status or visa medical?  For his status, by all means.


For visa medical I can tell you categorically, HIV is a deportable disease. If you have it, you can't work here. A doctors note is not going to help at all if you have HIV. And a doctors note (issued outside UAE) in everything else is a supporting document if something is in doubt - not relied on blindly. But that is a moot point, if he goes to GAMCA in his home country, they will give mark him as UNFIT there and then.  If he comes here and tries to convert visa, if they detect HIV, he will go into a holding facility and will be deported from there.  The law is very clear on this.


You can go to the UAE government portal on medical fitness and see for yourself.

Get tested again - got nothing to lose! Don't be negative, have an open mind! Unless you're no longer worried or currently retired then that's a different issue - Go in Peace with the Lord - if you don't treat your HIV - that's the end of life.

A quick look at medical sites suggest false positive results are very rare, but not impossible.

However, the OP seems to have details of his health state that makes an error unlikely.

That puts the OP back to XTang's post.
