HIV & Travel
People living with HIV/AIDS are at greater risk of contracting infections and other diseases than HIV-uninfected people. But that shouldn't prevent HIV-infected people from embarking on travel with a sense of health, safety, and confidence at home or abroad.
Planning ahead and careful consideration of safe travel practices can ensure people living with HIV/AIDS will enjoy their travels like anyone else. This page of federally approved information on health and safety precautions for travelers with compromised immune systems will be helpful in planning your getaway. Resources from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the U.S. Department of State are included.
Don't forget that our Live Help health information specialists (both Spanish- and English-speaking) are available Monday through Friday, noon to 4 p.m. e.s.t., to provide anonymous one-on-one assistance via the internet. They can help identify resources and answer your questions about HIV and its treatment. Or, if you prefer, contact us by phone to speak directly to our health information specialists. Call us toll-free at: 800-448-0440, or contact us by e-mail at: ContactUs@aidsinfo.nih.gov.
