Have I understood this correctly; it is not just an HIV test that is required, but that the test must be negative? Can anyone explain the logic of this? I cannot see what is to be gained by preventing an HIV+ person from marrying as long as the partner is fully aware of their status.
I also wonder what effect this requirement the new market for foreigners marrying in Goa. It is not long since in the U.K. merely having an HIV test, even if it was negative, could be enough to make obtaining insurance difficult, so this may put people off. That said, if this requirement can be shown to cut transmission of HIV it will be a price worth paying.
