Traveling with HIV
I got a new job where I will be traveling a little bit in Europe.
Of course I won't tell the airlines or customs that I have HIV
but I will be carrying medications. Does anyone have any
experience with this? Can they stop me and question me about my
medication? What happens if they find out I have HIV

I would like to write here to my country Sweden In Sweden nobody
is in prison becous he is hiv posetiv. no requierment for visa
The low aplat to a hiv posetive person to inform his partner. and
the docter requier test for the partner too. Infact there are
some people in pireson becouis of misbehaieng, Knowingly infected
others. Even you can not say real preason just detained them for
some 2 to 3 years until the learn responsebilty In teory h+
posetive poeple requiered test and titeled fot treatment When hiv
was killer during the past 5 years sweden was the country to give
resdent permit for poeple who develops aids. infact aids in
Sweden now is not a humanitreain reason to stay now. And imgrant
if he is not volentere there will not be obligation test. Now we
have a hiv posetiveorganasation who has a sit in the parlament.
and if any one has trable at his job becous of hiv he can to
legasl action to get back his job. The untedstate is a country

On the whole, I would expect Europe to be OK to travel in and
that none of our Customs would care about the drugs you carry in
terms of Aids prescription drugs. I am sure that UK, Germany and
probably Italy are OK. I would be careful in Switzerland (which
has retrogressive attitudes to many things) and possibly France
(where they are strange about HIV - maybe because of their own
huge level of HIV) and Sweden where there is compulsory HIV
testing and we are increasingly finding out that positive people
are often imprisoned. But, UK, Germany, Austria, Italy, Denmark,
Greece etc should be OK.

I have traveled to Europe twice carrying multiple HIV meds
including syringes for injection drugs such as Procrit and
Neupogen. Most recently was to Paris in April '98. Bags were not
even opened by customs inspectors nor was I asked anything. In
'95 I visited London, Paris, and Switzerland. No one asked me
anything or checked my baggage. I say, just go, have a good time
and don't worry about it. Just don't volunteer any information.
I'd be more afraid of US customs.
