Travelling abroad with HIV

Generally, travelling abroad shouldn’t be a problem with HIV, but this is all dependant on where you’re going, the preparation that goes with that and buying the right cover for you.

We want to enable everyone the opportunity to explore the world’s best sights and have the assurance knowing they are covered. As long as you declare your condition when purchasing a policy with our quick and easy steps, you’ll have the protection you need and can start focusing on the memories you’ll make on your holiday.

Are there travel restrictions?

Although HIV has become a widely accepted condition in the UK, not every part of the world is up to speed and that can mean travel restrictions. Like with any condition, preparation is key and when planning your trip, it’s crucial to do you research into the destinations you’re able to visit.

 Travelling with HIV medication

Travelling with HIV can be daunting in general, especially when taking medication with you. The best thing to do is stay organised and if any obstacles come up including border control, you’ll have the assurance of being prepped for your trip (and the right cover too.)

  •       Packing medication: Any HIV medication should be carried in your hand luggage, along with a letter from your prescribing doctor. Keeping medication in your hand luggage will help to avoid any problems, should your checked-in luggage be lost or delayed.
  •       Have enough medication: Whilst it is advised to take extra medication, there is no need to bring an excessive amount with you. This can actually look suspicious and lead to questioning. So, ensure you take enough for your trip, plus a little extra for emergencies.
  •       Getting though security: You should keep your medication in its original packaging and not put it in dispensary containers. Original packaging will show the name of the person the medication is prescribed to, should you be stopped at border control and questioned.
  •       Taking a break from medication: Some places have restrictions on people with HIV entering the country. As frustrating as this is, do not take a break from your medication for the sake of visiting a destination, as this can affect your health considerably.
  •       Jet Lag: Adjusting to the time difference can leave you tired and forgetful. However, it is important that you are consistent with taking your medication. Make sure you set reminders and alarms before you travel. This way, you can stick to UK time when taking your medication and make the whole adjustment process a lot easier.
