Many HIV-infected persons travel from temperate zones to (sub)tropical destinations. HIV-specific immigration issues, medical resources abroad and problems regarding travel with multiple medication need to be anticipated. When prescribing immunisations and specific chemoprophylaxis, the stage of immunodeficiency as well as drug interactions with antiretrovirals must be taken into account. Live vaccines may be contraindicated. With good pretravel advice the risk of severe health problems is low for most HIV-infected travellers.
