In Korea, people living with HIV have the right to work. Medical checkup centers should not test for HIV without consent, and should only inform the person of the HIV test results in a confidential manner, and employers should not ask workers for HIV test results.
In addition, in 2017, HIV was removed as an item of medical examination for migrant workers seeking employment as foreign language instructors on E2 & E7 visas, and they cannot be deported to their home country for being HIV positive.
This guideline provides a checklist that you can follow at the medical checkup center and at your workplace to ensure that you are not unfairly dismissed due to HIV, from the medical examination for foreigner registration to employment.
