Email 300: Traveling to HK with ARV's


Hi Pozzie,

Its been a while since I shared my HIV story on your blog and I'm quite thankful I didn't encounter any side effects esp rashes from my arvs (Nevi, Teno, Lami combo) especially from the nevirapine - just like what others have said that appearance of  side effects were case to case basis and drinking lots and lots of fluid to help my body clear up the toxins, & quitting [smoking] (been 4 months since I have lighted my last cigar... yehey) does really help a lot.

I'll be going abroad for a vacation and this is my first time to travel with a medication. though I know that HK doesn't have any restrictions on poz people, I still have this paranoia there will be an airport problems due to my medications and I will be outed to my relatives (my immediate family does know my status and I'm lucky they are very supportive).

Any Idea on the things I need to secure first in relation to my medications?

Thanks in advance

Email 81: ARV's and Time Zones


Hello Pozziepinoy,

It's me again.  Am in Manila now and would be flying out by November XXX.  Still have not been with the doctor in PGH-SAGIP as she only goes for consultation once a week.  Will keep you posted, if you don't mind.
