There are no entry restrictions for people with HIV/AIDS in Hungary. However, there are legal regulations that may influence long term stay of people affected by certain diseases.
The following conditions are considered as a threat to public health: tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, syphilis, typhus, paratyphus and hepatitis B.
Citizens from the European Economic Area (EEA) and other countries intending to take residence in Hungary are obliged to declare if they are affected by a disease listed above, and that such condition is properly treated. Such a declaration is reported to the authorities, in order to ensure that the affected person is treated.
In case the authorities gain evidence that the patient is not following treatment or is opposing the regulations, the foreigner may be expelled from Hungary.
HIV tests or certificates are not required at entry. There are no controls at the border. Antiretroviral medication can be imported.
It is not entirely clear how the above regulations are implemented in practice.

Since Hungary has been a member of the European Union and within the Schengen Zone, the same rules regulate the entry and stay of EU citizens as anywhere else within the EU.
Although there is a rule that residence permits require the availability of a HIV test result, a positive result will not automatically lead to expulsion from the country. It depends on the social security status of the person concerned - if they have a valid insurance at home, the Hungarian Social Security Fund may be willing to negotiate about providing services to the person to the account of their original insurance, provided that they have taxable income in Hungary and pay social security contribution.
There is currently a political debate going on about the mandatory HIV-testing (opt-out available) of undocumented migrants, refugees and asylum seekers.
