There are no restrictions for HIV+ tourists (residency is, however, restricted for HIV+ folks), so no, HIV meds in their original prescription bottles won't cause a problem.
It's 2010-11 data, but the following link from Deutsche AIDS-Hilfe might be useful:

This comment is, I guess, going to be limited to those who have a lot of flexibility in their schedules and can travel. (And maybe who are, like me, ummmm, Older).
I would like to establish such a group for whom getting together would be appealing. I see occasional invites, but nothing specific.
For instance, from time to time, I'll post an opening for a timesare with occupancy (generally) of 6-10. They would be short getaways - 4 days or so - to do something diffrerent. Hopefully, none will be of great expense other than the travel expense.
There will always be a full kitchen and a hot tub (I'm something of a hedonist) if possible.
Would anyone else be interested in this sort of thing? If so, let me know. I'll create a separate list of you and maybe (if I ever get computer-savy) start our own group here for that purpose so those of you interested and/or who also have suggestions can voice them.

@Mike It's probably the stem cell research story, as that's been the most widely-reported this week. I blogged about it here.

Is it just another wild goose chase? I was told by a friend that there was a news story about a new breakthrough in the HIV/AIDS med research. Did I miss something?

World AIDS Day today.
Pain and loneliness of living in a friend is thinking.
Have the courage and hope for the future, please overlook.
We are living in a world community.
Please reach out for power.
I hope your hand and I'll share with you.
I'll give you a hug a sick mind.
You and I are the same person.
