I read one thing, then I read another... can someone tell me do I need an Aids test or not? I am traveling to Irkutsk on Sep, 5 and will be there exactly 90 days. I am traveling on a business visa.

I should have my invite letter next week, and then need to apply for the visa, and I do not want to miss this if I have to have it.

I am US citizen, traveling from OHIO, and will be applying at the Washington, DC embassy..

Thanks!

For a Business visa, you need a HIV test.

I'm a swiss citizen, I have a multiple entry-business visa valid for 1 year. The Russian consulate in Switzerland didn't ask for a VIH test when I applied.
