To obtain a valid, up-to-date overview of HIV-related travel restrictions in the European Region, we collected data from a variety of sources. We retrieved the information chiefly from the Global Database on HIV Related Travel Restrictions at hivtravel.org [12] , an initiative of the German AIDS Federation, the European AIDS Treatment Group (EATG) and the IAS. The information in this database is based on replies to a structured self-administered questionnaire from German embassies abroad and foreign embassies in Germany between November 2007 and June 2008.
