Regulations in China

This is strange... My girlfriend is from Africa but we are both foreign exchange students in China (Im American)... I was wondering if you knew if Africans are required to have an HIV exam to be in China as students for long periods of time? I dont want to hurt her feelings and ask her if she has had a test.

She has been in China since 2006, and she is a student there.

Do you know the regulations?

Ur girlfriend needs to take HIV test in order to stay for long periods of time. My sister did the same thing last time. She is studying in Shanghai.

not sure about the regulations...but...if she has been in china since 2006 it really doesnt matter if she tested to get in.  she has been there for two years now...and alot can happen in two years.

do you care MORE about "hurting her feelings" than you care about your health?  dont be afraid to ask her about her sexual history.
