I noticed that when applying for residency, one must take a physical with an aids test. Does testing positive mean one would be denied the cedula?

My personal opinion, knowing how seriously the Dominicans take this test, is "yes".

Yes, every country includes health tests to screen possible immigrants. In the U.S. at the turn of the last century, the gateway was Ellis Island in New York Harbor. Doctors stood at the ready as the hordes came in and marked the coats of the unfit with chalk. Those marked were sent back in the next boat.
