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:

Travel Regs for HIV+ people

Hey everyone!

There are still spaces available for this year's Poz Brotherhood Retreat in the Poconos from July14-18. The program is completely new for this year and there are still plenty of spaces available. Check out the website at www.pozretreat.com and feel free to contact us directly with any questions.

I know some people that die with aids.  I knew someone that i went to school with die from it.  So i understand something about it.  I would like to know more.

   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.

Comment by Mike Kilgore on December 16, 2010 at 18:48

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?

Comment by rose peter on December 1, 2010 at 12:21
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.
