HIV/AIDS Sufferers to Benefit From New Legislation

Taiwan's legislature is working on revisions to the nation's AIDS Prevention Act which will make it easier for those suffering from HIV/AIDS to visit. Under a revision drawn up by the legislature's health, environment and social welfare committee, HIV/AIDs sufferers will be permitted to enter Taiwan once every three months for a stay of up to 14 days.

Another revision to the act, submitted by the same committee, will require hotels to provide condoms for their guests. Any hotel failing to do so will face a fine of up to NT$150,000 (US$4,700).
