I am the principal candidate but my spouse is Hiv+

[Chutzpah]

Hi,
I am the principal candidate, my spouse is Hiv+. I will will be applying under express entry.
I have googled and found out that it depends upon the estimated cost burden on the health care system.
My question is, I am the principal applicant and I am hiv negative, can my spouse's hiv positive status be a ground for medical inadmissibility?

Yes - this can be grounds for medical inadmissibility. Both of you must pass the medical in order for your PR visa to be approved. Whether medical inadmissibility is an issue will depend on the severity of your spouse's health situation and current medications they are taking.

Thanks for the reply!

Their are HIV+ people who get PR. Really dependent on the individual case. You should be aware that Canada has no national pharmacare program so it will be important to research the various health programs in each provinces and there is increased importance of having extended benefit plans in any chronic illness.

Go ahead and apply...... There is NO medical inadmissibility for HIV + these days. Me and several +ve guys have got their PR since May 2018 ....If your wife is on (any) medication for more than a year and Undetectable, she will 100% clear the medicals

There are several provinces which give HIV medicines for free... eg British Columbia, Alberta, Nova Scotia, PEI, New Brunswick & Newfoundland. There are few threads in the forum about the Positive immigrants and Would be glad to help you about the medical exams and the process....Best of luck

If you have been living with your spouse for over a year or married. Apply for spousal sponsorship. No medical admissibility for it.

Neither is a Canadian citizen or PR.

This is incorrect. You don’t know their medical history so there are certainly cases where an HIV+ person can be refused due to excessive medical demand. Many people are approved but to say NO medical inadmissibility is wrong. You are expected to use your extended benefits plan to access medication if you have one. For public health reason free medications are available in some provinces to make sure people are accessing medication in the hopes that transmission rates will decrease and that keeping people healthy is less expensive to the healthcare system.

Again, this wasn't indicated in the post.

It's the wording used by OP. They refer to themselves as the PA in an EE app and ask about their spouse's admissibility.

You know their medical history? Are you their Doctor ? Did he tell you about his wife’s co-infections?

You are NOT an expert or a qualified person to answer immigration/ healthcare related questions....Just a random guy who spends an insane amount of time in these forums half-mentoring and giving half-baked answers to questions about Tax, Healthcare, settlement, Law, housing ,Childcare, Housing, plumbing etc

How i use benefits plan is upto me and the Canada / provincial government. Bore someone else with your social welfare lectures. Whatever info I need is on the govt websites

Your hidden vendetta to bully / scare people away by pretending to help can be understood by just looking at your various Toxic replies to the people asking healthcare related questions.

You were the one guaranteeing admission. I said many people are approved but without a complete medical history and drug review nobody can be guaranteed admission. Public forum I can post what I want and have helped many people. Glad to see I have become a plumbing expert, I had no idea I had picked up that skill.
